After weeks of gloomy weather, it was sunshine and blue skies this Deepavali morning. The magnificent Sri Mahamariamman Temple in Chinatown Kuala Lumpur started life as a little attap-thatched temple in 1885.

Priest from Madurai, India. I photographed him as we conversed about his job. When you talk to people, seek their permission, they are more relaxed and I think that is reflected in his charming smile.

It’s the Hindu Festival of Lights today! Here are a couple of portraits of some nice people I met at the Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple in Chinatown this morning.
A big Deepavali smile from 3 year-old Danistha and her grandparents. I like how their faces were lit by the strong sunlight reflected off the temple’s marble floor.
Happy Diwali!
