- Summary:
- Reflections of the Spirit is the result of the 30 years Pepita Seth has spent photographing Hindu ritual in India's south-western state of Kerala. More specifically, it focuses on the seven years she has devoted to the ancient Malabar performance ritual of Theyyam, a ceremony in which empowered men, after suitable mental, physical, and spiritual preparations, "become" the deities.
- Spectacular color photographs vividly depict this fascinating and little-known Keralan ritual.
