Photo Title	Sangam Temple Fire Walking
Photo Description	I took this photo during an annual Hindu fire walking ceremony in September, 2008 at Sangam Temple in Navua, Fiji. The ritual is an act of self-purification and is part of a vow in which the devotee promises to walk on fire in order to receive blessings from the deity their particular temple is guided by. This photo is of dancers celebrating the end of the week of fasting before walking across the bed of hot ashes.
