I just got back from attending Dasara (a.k.a. Dussehra or Vijayadashami) festivities in Mysore. Dasara celebrates Rama’s victory over Ravana, as well as Durga’s defeat of Mahishasur. There was a flower show about a block from the palace, and this gazebo was the centerpiece. The bottom pick was part of the floor of the gazebo.
These are a few more pics from the Kalari Gurukulam‘s demonstration on Sunday night. These are a few of the kids from the youth classes.
Yesterday, I posted a few of the adult senior students here.
Among the unexpected sights of Bangkok is this Monitor Lizard of about 4 foot long from the tips of its forked-tongue to the tip of its tail. It was right in the center of Saranrom Park which is across the street from the Grand Palace and Wat Pho in Bangkok’s old town.
