In Honour of the forefathers


 ' Bali Tharpana ' A custom ritual performed by people belonging to Hindu religion in Kerala, India. 
Shot at Aluva Siva Temple, Ernakulam.

Performed by the younger ones in a family for the eternal peace of forefathers. The Siva Temple in Aluva is famous for the traditional 'Vavubali'. The temple being located in the banks of the Infamous Periyar River made it a natural spot for the 'Balitharpana' in the past , ironically the polluted Periyar river may not be the best choice for appeasement of our forefathers now in my opinion.
