DAY 406

This was hanging up behind a makeshift street stall. It's the Hindu deity Murugan - Shiva's son. You mostly see pictures of him in the South, particularly Tamil Nadu (I'm pretty sure that's Tamil script in the top right hand corner). According to my book India: Belief and Ritual, The Gods and the Cosmos and Meditation and the Yogic Arts, "Murugan may have originated as a fertility god and his worship probably included some form of orgiastic dancing." So there you are.
