1/100 f/3.5, ISO 200, hand held. Pushkar, India.

----- PUSHKAR (RAJASTHAN, INDIA) *** Dura sette giorni la celebre fiera del bestiame che si tiene ogni anno a Pushkar, un piccolo paese nel Rajasthan indiano, dove sorge l'unico tempio di tutta l'India dedicato a Brahma, architetto dell'universo, che è meta di pellegrinaggio induista in occasione della festa di Kartika Purnima. A rendere sacro questo luogo è un laghetto lì situato, che si ritiene essere sgorgato dai petali di un fiore di loto, sfuggito proprio da una mano di Brahma assorto nella meditazione. Contestualmente alla festa religiosa, migliaia di commercianti di bestiame provenienti da tutta la regione, con al seguito cammelli, cavalli, bovini e altri animali da allevamento, si riuniscono qui, tra devoti, bancarelle coloratissime, chiromanti e incantatori di serpenti, per una settimana di commerci, festeggiamenti e preghiera, alloggiando in un enorme accampamento di tende allestito appena fuori dalla cittadina.

Among the various symbols that this cow is full, you recognize any swastica, one of the oldest sacred symbols and universal and is present in all traditions, from the Hindus to the Jewish to the Christian. This makes me think about how a school of thought that glorified the alleged superior race has adopted as his own, a true expropriation in this case, making it the symbol of the atrocities of the twentieth century.
Michela good a shot I'd say .. meditative ;-)

Hello Nico! You're right ... the swastika symbol (found even in Neolithic sites!) Originally, and according to the cultures also you mentioned, had a meaning of "lucky" .... wow!
Thank you very much for your nice comment and for appreciating beyond the technicalities, this my shot. Nico Hello and Happy New Year! :-P

I'm glad that the photos of the gallery you enjoyed them. Photos are a little "primordial":-D but they do absolutely part of my growth path photo but, more importantly, bear witness of the most important path; human one. ;-)
