@ub1ub2media: There’s a deeper meaning behind the flower garlands and decorated frames passing through these London streets. Known in Tamil as Ther, a chariot festival centres on taking the temple deity in procession through the surrounding streets, bringing worship into the wider community. The suspended devotees in this footage appear to be taking part in a form of kavadi, a devotional practice associated with religious vows and penance. For those taking part, these traditions carry deep personal and spiritual meaning. A moment to appreciate the communities keeping them alive here in London. 📍 Walthamstow, East London #ub1ub2 #walthamstow #london #tamilcommunity #chariotfestival
