The youngest boy in this family group (whom you met earlier) had made the journey from his village to Kanchipuram with his father, two elder brothers, uncle and grandfather. The journey and pilgrimage was forming part of his rite of passage. He would soon be accepted as a young man in the village. They really wanted me to take their photo together and were excited to see it back on the screen, I tried to explain that I would send it to them if they gave me an address. They kept smiling and nodding, but it was clear that did not understand a word of what I was trying to say or do.
