Tangamani, Selvi, and Khusbo of Tamil Nadu are hijras living near Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar station in Mumbai, India. They preferred not to reveal their identities: “our liberty has been grabbed…hijras used to be respected, now we aren’t…The [Hindu] God Ram gave us the energy to bless…we are demi-gods, this is our ritual since the ages…[but] the government is not allowing us to do the rituals we used to do like blessings” said Tangamani. Feet symbolize the most impure part of the body in Hinduism, symbolizing how hijras are perceived within society.
