THAIPUSAM REVISITED 2004(7): Photography by Richard Seah @ richardseah.com

Is this man a Catholic, a Hindu, a Catholic Hindu or a Hindu Catholic? Or...

It is not uncommon to find a mix of religious icons at Thaipusam.

I had taken several pictures of this man, focusing on the cross, the hooks and the lemons. Then his friends blew the white powder onto his body.

That provided the finishing touch.
