Originally clicked and uploaded by - Pratosh Dwivedi - 13th Sept'08There are two important points in a girl's life among orthodox Christians in Mexico, when she is presented before the society. First when she is 3 years old and second when she is 15. When the girl turns three, she is dressed up the way you can see in the image and taken to the church to perform some rituals. When she is 15 she is presented in front of the family and relations to mark her entry into adulthood.
I took this image at a local shop which was selling the dresses for "Presentacion de 3 años". Once I was done clicking, I ended up talking to to shop owner for aorund 20 minutes discussing all sorts of random things; from religion to indo-mexican trade to India's surge in BPO :)
