Hindu

The connection between Creator and Human in unparalleled. Its all about belief and connection. Moreover the way human represents their belief to their god and goddesses, shows the intimacy between them.

In this project I tried to portray the intimacy between the Hindu believer of Dhamrai (Near Dhaka, Bangladesh) people and their belief. The night before Charak, the Hindu believer of Dhamrai perform a different kind of ritual. For this ritual, two men make over themselves to portray the character of Kali & Shiva. Kali & Shiva are known as the god and goddesses of Hindu believer. Then, they perform a historical dance drama with smoke and sword all night long which reflects that Kali made by killing her husband Shiva. They take the smoke as blessing which make them weltering in the ground. After that they pick dead human’s head from crematory field. It is said that who and whom’s dead head have picked up is blessed by their god and goddesses.
