Frames from the day
A Madhavsaro sapling by the door, planted eight days earlier and still alive, which his mother took as a good sign.
Achu michu at the entrance. Rice, coconut and a raw egg circled over his head, and he flinched exactly once.
The hathevaro under the curtain, their right hands joined and bound, and then the cloth came down.
Rice thrown the second the curtain dropped. She was faster and she has not let it go since.
The Ashirwad. Two priests, benedictions in Avesta, and forty people completely still on a lawn in Udaipur.
