Excellent background info. The DANDIYA aspects are well covered in hindi films and survive wherever Indians migrated to!

I was enjoying how you are trying to describe the Dussehra festival and the

customs to a completely unknowing audience.

Snowview, you give us such excellent overview of the festivities celebrated all over India, many that we don't even know of, and like I said earlier, this is precisely why your blog is a 'Celebrity' in itself.

I liked the one with the dools, how fascinating; the folk dancing caught my eye, too! Enjoy your time with Ashish!!! Shelly

Nita, thanks for yet another very interesting account about life in India. Very best wishes for an enjoyable journey  and stay in Bangalore. Thanks for the kind comment; I'm not at all technical, far from it.

I actually visited Andhra Pradesh in 1985.  Was there on a mission trip for 6 weeks.  Thank you for such and interesting post!

Excellent!

Dot My former landlords were Indians. Two years ago the wife visited India with their boys. At home they watched Bollywood film videos. From what I know I love the celebrations in India and Bollywood. My International Cinema class watched a Bollywood film. And I love your posts about the celebrations. BC-A, Bill’s RJJst
