    Brilliant pictures, Joseph. The header was a bit of a fright but I liked the one with the feathered headdress.

    These are very pretty, always enjoy it when you post about your different cultures. I liked the one with the older mans beard. Are these once a year events? Thank you for coming by.

    your pictures are beautiful. Our Geshe-la came back from Nepal and brought back 21 Tara statues for our center. He visits India. I love seeing all the colors there,we dont have things like this in my city, what a treat to see for western eyes.

    Blessings my friend and thanks for your visit. I would like to tell you that S&M is not big here but that would be a lie. You would truly be shocked if you know the levels on which this stuff exists here. As in any other country whatever you find there you find here, it is no different regardless of "progress".

    Thanks again for stopping by.....
    Love your pics

    Hi Joseph! Very colourful. I could not witness these things although I too belong to the same state. However I am grateful to you for the glimpses you bring with your posts. Thank you so much.
