These are some shots that I took at the Kandy Cultural Centre. They do daily performances of indigenous dance and performance art.

DAILY PHOTO: Nude Sculpture [Nude Bowling Trophy Topper?]
Taken in December of 2014 in Vác, Hungary
I took this photo near the Danube in Vác. I’m not sure what the thing that looks like bowling pin is supposed to be (hence the Nude Bowling Trophy Topper comment.) Maybe it’s supposed to be a vase. At any rate, it’s a nifty work of art.

DAILY PHOTO: Béla Czóbel by Imre Varga
Taken in December of 2014 in Szentendre
Béla Czóbel is a Hungarian artist (Post-Impressionist painter), and this statue was made by another Hungarian artist (sculptor) Imre Varga. It sits in a nondescript location in Szentendre. I’m sure Czóbel wasn’t as angry as he appears in this sculpture. Actually, I’m not sure of that at all. He may have been.

Taken on November 19, 2014 in Ajanta Caves
In the caves of Ajanta, many wall paintings have been preserved. As harsh light can damage these artworks, some of which have survived for centuries, flashes and outside lighting are prohibited. Therefore, it’s a challenge get decent photos, but here are a few attempts.

LSNED: The Many Faces of Gypsy Dance
FYI: LSNED = Learn Something New EveryDay
My wife, some friends, and I went to a dance performance at the KalaRasa Art House in Jayanagar last night. The dance was performed by a duo (made trio for the evening) called The SaraLuna Project, who demonstrated three dance forms with Gypsy roots: Kalbeliya Dance of Rajasthan, Egypt’s Belly Dance, and the Spanish Flamenco. I had no idea that these dance forms were connected (hence the Learn-Something-New-EveryDay [LSNED] segment,) and that they are but three styles along the long trail of Gypsy migration–though I have seen other Gypsy dance forms in Hungary.
This promises to be the first installment of a series that will cover other dance forms in this long and rich cultural heritage. The dance was sensational and it was a learning experience (complete with slides and graphics) as well as an entertaining evening. So if you’re in Bangalore and enjoy dance you should follow The SaraLuna Project.
