Eaten or just Tongued

Tourists love cultural shows – a quick convenient peak at what life might have been like – and ideally how its memory is being preserved and re-interpreted. Last nite we saw a good one at the Bangli Haveli – the intown office of the West Zone Cultural Centre which also runs the vibrant Shilpgram Arts and Craft Centre. Like the Mamallapuram dance festival shows great energy, in your face vantage, and remarkable interplay between the musicians and dancers.



The firehat ladies like to get down.




The two headed devil ate – well actually just tongued – burning embers.
