Usman gladly shows his daughter to me, she got already a very strong will on her own and wanted to be with mother. The black robe around her neck is ment to protect her from evil. Men do wear that same black robe in their loin.
Usman's head was shaved as he just came back from his pelgrimage to Ayapan, near Madurai-Kumili in Kerala, to make puja or a thank offer for the birth of his daughter.
On his shoulders his towel shows he is member of the D.M.K., the political party of Karnanadi at the moment put a side by the B.J.P of Jaylalitta, prime minister of Tamil Nadu now.
