    Hell Joseph
    Fantastic pictures and some taken at night with flash. The costumes are bright and multicolored.Is the first pic depicting a scene from the Ramayana ? Some of the other pics appear to depict the British rule in India - encounter between an Indian prince(holding sword) & a British soldier with a gun.
    The captivating & enchanting ladies in pic 4 - are they really ladies or men dressed as ladies. They look like the Apsaras at the court of Lord Indra !

    Best Wishes

    Good to see more carnival sights. Some of them appear to be mythilogical and historical characters.
    Everyone seems to be enjoying

    Beautiful shots of the carnival. Very colorful. I can visualize them as I have seen the similar stuff in Cochin during the yearly festival celebrations there at the the temple.

    I've lived near FK all my life. But, never been to the carnival due to the crowd problem & all that. Your pictures give the real feel of it.

    hello friend,
    This looks fun to attend. I should like to see something like this one day. Your pictures and your travels are wonderful. I learn so much about your culture. I have always wanted to visit India, and i purchase made items from your country. Thank you for bringing a little piece my way through your blog.

    Hi Rema:)

    There were very few women participating in the carnival. Most were men dressed as women but they put up a fantastic show.

    Have a nice day:)
