Melasti is still an unique attraction for tourist and photographer. To capture an uncluttered big picture of Hindu at pray is not an easy task to me. Especially, if you like to have an interesting focal point. In this case, I think I have achieved the end result of my perception.
The last step of Melasti ceremony is purification. The Pratima (god symbol) has to be purified before making a return trip to the temple. The religious parade is usually very colourful especially bathed under the low light condition.
Melasti or purification the Pratima (god symbol) and other Hindu Religion symbol at the beach is one of important ceremony in Hindu rituals. This year’s cerebration falls on 9th March to 11th March. Thousands of Hindu gathered at the beach before sunrise to perform this annual ceremony. The purification is by sea water. To me, is ideally to have the gushed in wave as a foreground of the event.
