Description: |
A young, bare-bodied priest (right) places a flower garland on Sangithaamma, 27, (left) in a brief and simple ceremony that weds her to Lord Aravan, within the crowded inner chamber of the Koothandavar Temple where dozens of other transgenders perform the same ritual, during the annual Koothandavar Festival in Koovagam, south India. |
