[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is at ISKON - the Krishna temple at Juhu in Mumbai - just before the noon prayers when the priest blows the shell to awaken the God. The entire affair is quite riualistic and dramatic. The red backdrop actally is a huge curtain that hides Lord Krishna and opens to give 'darshan' at the rigt time. In fact there are three such curtains hiding three different deities.
PP - Sharpened and used curve, selected the priest and used zoom filter on the rest.

Very nice photo Mukesh my friend! Dreamy mood ..
TFS .. Bye ..John T

Fantastic image, looks like it could be a poster, something I'd be happy with hanging on my wall. I love the big block of red, and the zoom treatment makes it more intriguing.

Well composed and treated image! Great vibrant colours and and excellent treatment to go with the mood...TFS
I remember hearing/reading the significance of blowing the conchshell is not just for awakening the Diety, but also the inner self! I am not sure where though!
