Portrait of a woman Pondicherry resident, South East India. She is standing behind the gate of her front door, next to the statue of Murugan deity (or Subrahmanya), the second son of Shiva and Ganesh’s brother. Murugan, God of War, is very popular in India and especially among Tamils. Its presence outdoors ensures the protection against misfortune who could enter inside the house.
