A woman pouring warm fragrant water over a baby buddha statue as part of the "Bathing of the Buddha" ritual on the Vesak Day celebrations at Bugis, Singapore — Interestingly such ritual is common in Hinduism. Vesak Day is also known as Buddha Purnima, a full moon day that marks birth, enlightenment and also death (Final Nirvana) of the Gautama Buddha. Also interesting to see a baby Buddha statue. Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists were performing this ritual.

A temple elephant blessing the devotees on a full moon night at Brihadishvara Temple, Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu, India — I was happy to have included the little boy watching into the frame – as I felt too like that boy, just watching that spectacle.
