The priests of Bubaneshwar !
 |
| The job hours are long. Lot of wait and patience is required to attract (!) the devotees . |
 |
| One priest is devoted to every idol / worshiping place in the temple campus. He earns bread and butter from the it. More devotees he attracts, more he earns ! |
 |
| Apart from performing rituals, any other sacred job has to be performed by the priests of the temple. Cooking included. |
 |
| There is leisure time too ! They are so many fr a small temple. |
 |
| Some lucky ones get time to pose for the camera and they do it happily ! |
Wonderfully captured! Yes priests are part of every temple here...they cook delicious food,chant mantras & do pujas at home during festivals like Ganesh Puja,Saraswati Puja & so on! :)
