AhA sounded loud and clear in the heart of Delhi thanks to Delhi's own tableau.

Somethings change, but sadly somethings remain the same.

#RepublicDay
That said, hats off to Karnataka, Gujarat, TN and UP!

Karnataka is easily this year's winner!
But none can match the goosebumps of this 2018 tableau.

तेज तम‍ अंस पर
कान्ह जिमि कंस पर
त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर
सेर सिवराज है !

जय भवानी, जय भवानी
जय शिवाजी जय शिवाजी !

Kannaḍa rājya ramāramaṇa
Tuḷuva vaṃśa śirōmaṇi
Mūru rāyara gaṇḍa
Vijayanagara sāmrājya mārtāṇḍa
Aṣṭadiggaja (inaudible)
Śrī śrī śrī Kṛṣṇadevarāya Mahārāja...

"Those dancing eyebrows
That budding smile on crimson lips
Waving wet matted locks
Coral body smeared with white ash,
And that raised divine foot...
I am fortunate to have this life...
Just to witness this sight." Image

The best airport display goes to Cochin airport!

All the dance forms of Kerala are on display... AND HOW!

Kathakali: Dharmaraja and Bhima to the left, sword wielding Duryodhana, Shakuni throwing the dice and Duhshasana is shown as the most menacing in the frame.
Kodiyattam, Chakkiarkoothu, Nangiarkoothu, Mohiniattam... Wow wow wow!
Theyyam!

While there are a few caves, will be posting pics from the main cave and following the sequence as shown in the below pic. 😃
1. Ravananugraha
Every pic I put up is of a relief that is at least 20ft tall. This one of Ravana lifting Kailāśa before the lord puts him in his place with the press of a toe.

This is perhaps one of the most damaged reliefs. But yet, one gets a perspective of the grandeur.

Never ever buy anything from an M again.

Never.
Those giving examples of circumstances making it hard to do such a boycott, read this... and then try harder.
