Sorry the first picture is sideways. This is a huge celebration in India that lasts for 2 days. Drums beating and Hindu music going all day and all night for 2 days. We didn't spend a lot of time there but we had a member friend who's home was on the 2nd floor so we could see some of the action. He took down in the middle of everything so we could get some of the closer shots. We didn't stay long as it seemed a little wild and crazy and sooooooo many people.
We would call this a float in the USA....I don't know what they call it.
This picture is how it looked in all directions. Tons of people.
Painted faces and bright colored costumes.
Notice the red tongue and the 8 arms.
I just called him the Snake Man. And yes....it's alive.
Why would you want to put a snake in your mouth?
Beautiful art work done in lights all over the street where we live. Just for your information, all of these pictures are within 2 blocks of where we live.
The paintings are of the Hindu Gods they worship. I asked the member we were with what he used to think before he joined the church. He said, "Crazy! It is a crazy holiday."
I think that sums it up.
