Piercing starts after Ganesh does puja to Goddess Marriammen at Juhu Beach.. video posted at my YouTube channel
This entire series of the MarriamennFeast is dedicated to the departed soul of my friend Bhima Davendar s mother who passed away recently.
It was Bhima Davendar who introduced me to this feast over 15 years back he connected me to Goddess Marriamenn.
I have shot this feast diligently passionately all these years thanks to the the love of the Tamils of NehruNagar Juhu.
It is Velu the head priest of Marriamenn Temple NehruNagar who personally invited me each year to shoot the events.
I have not been to well so could not shoot the morning Pongal event.
In the evening I shot the piercings at the beach along with my American friend Narrotamdas.
We two shoot this event every year and have been friends since 1983 .
After the piercings on the beach we paid homage to Mother Marriamen Temple but in keeping respect for the soul of Bhima Davendar mother we decided not to shoot the removal of the rods hooks etc.
We met Bhima offered our condolences and moved out towards our respective homes. He lives in Juhu I live in Bandra.
I have mostly shot videos...
