The 300 year old Sri Mutharamman Temple is located near a beach in the rural village Kulasekharapatnam at Tamil Nadu, India. Lakhs of people assemble here yearly to celebrate the "Dasara festival" an ancient tradition. During Dasara festival, devotees do unique offering to temple goddess where they transform themselves as Hindu goddess Kali, with amazing makeups and numerous stuffed hands attached to their body. During this offering, people consider these devotees as real gods and villagers come in front of them for blessings. These human gods will be in a trance state and start dancing vigorously throughout the ceremony. They dance infront of the temple first and then they go to the beach.

Hailing from Kottarakkara, the home of Kathakali, the classical dance form. ”Randomclicks" is my photographic expeditions detailing my life, travels, and the art I am trying to create along the way.

My dream is to travel the nook and corner of India especially the less explored rural parts. I click all genres, whatever looks appealing to my eyes but more interested in travel photography. I love to capture people and their daily routines and obsessed with festivals. In fact India is a paradise for festival lovers.
