Locks of hope 


Detail of the railings surrounding the tomb of the horse of an Moslem saint near to the Barra Chikki Falls at Sivasamudrum in Karnataka State, India. People who have a prayer to solve some special problem lock a padlock onto the railings. If, and when, their problem is solved, they return to the shrine and unlock their padlock.

Interesting picture! Religious traditions, or maybe superstitions, still evolve and people find new ways to express their religiosity.
