On Sunday, I went to the closing day of a cultural exhibition on the indigenous people Otomi-Chichimecas or Hñahñu. The exhibition was highlighting the yearly pilgrimage of the Otomi-Chichimecas, Ya ximhai xa nsu, which translates to “Territories of the sacred or precious land”. I did not actually get a chance to see most of the exhibit, but the ceremony has some nice aspects, which I had the opportunity to photograph.
I haven’t really done my due diligence to be able to explain what I saw or what is going on in the photos. However, it was a beautiful day, I always like the colorful traditional clothing, and it was a nice relaxing way to spend a couple of hours. I’m slowly learning about the history of Mexico and the indigenous people. I’ll try to be less robotic in my first paragraphs in the future.
I think you captured the ceremony very well, even without knowing the details. The colors of the women’s costumes are stunning. Great work
