Banashankari Temple, Banashankari, Karnataka, India
Came across an
interesting religious ritual in Banashankari. I had never heard about it
earlier.
The ritual is to
swim the kid across the temple tank in a contraption that looks like an ancient
man powered water bike
The kid has to
endure the trip across the tank with a stranger. Must be quite an ordeal.
This is a panaromic
view of the tank of the Banashankari temple tank.
The kid crossing the
tank starting from the right to the tank on the left
I believe the ritual
helps the kid to face and overcome difficulty and fear.
Very similar to some
simulation training we undergo.
