PhotoHunt: Music

November 14, 2009

The PhotoHunt theme this week is “Music”

Another subject that I always enjoy showing you, is the Hindu wedding that MJ and I attended a couple of years ago.

Before the ceremony, the groom and his family and friends are led in a procession to the temple by musicians playing a drum called a “Tavil” and a double-reeded instrument called a “Nadaswaram”. The Nadaswaram is considered a very auspicious instrument, and is generally played at temples and weddings. As always, please click on the images for a much better look!


*Note that the groom here should be riding an elephant, or at the very least, a horse. For various reasons, among which I believe is that he was chicken, that didn’t happen.*

Just a quick note: If you have honored me by adding me to your blogroll or bookmarked Flamingo Musings, please take a moment to update your link by removing the “blogspot.” from the URL. That’s right! I’m a dot com, now! Any link to Flamingo Musings should now read: http://flamingomusings.com Thanks!

    I have grown to love Indian music. I especially like watching the dancers sing and dance to the music in Indian movies.

    I'll bet the music is a big part of the ambiance of the ceremony. I wish I could have heard it!
