An impromtpu visit to Bangalore during the Dussehra (Dasara) festival period resulted in some interesting photo opportunities for Anant.
A walk through Gandhi Bazaar, a local market in Bangalore, is a feast for the senses. Multi-hued flowers in straw baskets, garlands, banana leaves to adorn vehicles, ash gourds...the dolls that are used to decorate the traditional kolu or doll display that many households feature during this festival.

ReplyDeleteNami - what cam is it? Been thinking of getting Nandu one too.
Thanks from Anant and myself. The camera is the Nikon Coolpix P100. Have to see how it captures BIRDS and other wildlife!!!!!
