pre-theemithi ritual

i went to the hindu temple a few days before theemithi to get some information. there are all kinds of rituals going on days before the main event. i don't know why, but when i went, the devotees were rolling on the wet ground in a circle around the temple.

singapore smells a little suspect sometimes, but whenever i go to little india or am around hindu events, i always catch a wiff of sweet-smelling jasmine.

on my way back to the car park, i passed by the buddha tooth relic temple and snapped this shot on a gorgeous sunny day.
