Assignment: Hands
A snap of my friend celebrating her fourth Karwa chauth, a traditional hindu festival for married women. Married women fast for an entire day, for the long life of their husbands. They apply henna on their hands and dress up in their best clothing and ornaments. They break their fast on moon rise, offer prayers and receive the first bite of food and water from their husbands. The festival signifies extreme love and devotion for their husbands.
