Dashara - 3 Bad Gods Fest

ooook, now something from the previously mentioned 3 Bad Gods Fest :)

So.. there is a legend about a gooooood God who concurred a Bad God and his supporters. 

It says that there was a pretty pretty Goddess, who was captures and hidden from people. She was captured by that one Bad God, who had 10 heads (you can see him in the pict, he is in the middle). Initially, he was very powerful, wise and Good God, until he made this mistake.. and those two other Gods are his brothers, who helped to commit the crime!

This Good God wanted to fight the Bad God.. But it was very hard! He had so many heads! and every time Good God would cut one of them, they would grow again..and it was even harder because of the supporting powers from other Bad Gods.. Luckily, the Good God realized the weak spot! He stabbed him and won the battle! and released the pretty pretty Goddess ;)

And everyone is celebrating the victory! that the Good God won! 

as mentioned in the prior post, those are located in many places, different stations, areas.. public places.. and celebrations are everywhere in the city..

Sorry for the quality.., I am still working on my skills..

I got a pleasure to stay away from all the hassle and join locals on the roof top ;) (kinda good to know the right people).. It took very looooong to listen to the story - it is run every year during the celebration so people know what they are celebrating ;)

and in some 3 hours of the story listening :) we got to see the battle!!! Followed by the fireworks!! ;) some nice ones, must admit! but not as we could see in the New Years eve..

And this is the traffic :) of course, two way traffic :D

Oh, same day we went for little shopping :)
When I saw the variety, went from one bangle to another.. and finally, could not make my mind, so went out with nothing in hand :D Crazy, ha?? Which would you choose???!!! all did not fit to the pict..

BTW.., this is English language exercise book of a 5 year child!
Note: "Cow is a pet animal" ;)  we can definitely see the influence of the culture in here :)
When I took this picture :) one women said: "and you eat cows, right??? o.O"
Just as camel, and buffalo and elephant, probably :)


Yours,
