The image shows a traditional Hindu ritual at the Veerateeswarar Temple in Thirukovilur, Tamil Nadu, where priests anoint a devotee with oil, a practice tied to spiritual purification and devotion. This ritual, rooted in South Indian Hindu culture, often involves sacred oils like Deepam Oil, used in puja ceremonies to enhance spiritual energy and mark festivals like Diwali. It’s a 1,000+ year-old tradition, still vibrant today, symbolizing the deep connection between body, spirit, and divinity in Hinduism.
