Indian Festival

Well summer is never complete without a festival or two...and here in 
 Sarasota and Bradenton, or Manasota.....today was no exception ....with the fabulous Indian Festival...
above is a hand painted peacock image...and you know how much I love me some peacock images....
 This lovely Namaste poster for the event was created by a local High School female student...it is very clever and lovely!
 The stage before the festivities begin.....
The festival gets under way with announcements and history...


 The beautiful young ladies lead a prayer to Ganesh....

 Lamps are lit to bless the event.
 This lady performed a poem and a dance as tribute to the gods of the Himalayas




 I loved the energy and dance of these Punjab style dancers...so energetic and so coordinated










This is post # 1 - will work on posting more of the pics of the rest of the event...dances...and more.and dont forget to check back soon for a very special giveway competition...the kind where you don't have buy anything and there really is a prize!!
