Few of the pics I got yesterday of the dances that I managed to watch.
| In the air! The local folk dance of Yakshagana (literally meaning stories of semi-divine beings) involves colorful costumes and stories from Hindu mythology! |
| One of the dance groups performing a group dance at the Utsav 2011 event at KMC Greens, Manipal . |
| A Kathak performance by an all girl group from the Manipal University institution. |
Utsav what? I love this one. She lost her balance and held on to her Dad’s head to stay upright!
| On top of the world! What better place to view the competitions than from on top of your Dad’s cranium? |
| Wonderful colors, truly invoke the spirit of Utsav 2011. |
| A group in Silver and black.. dazzling the stage |
| The rays of the sun or Divine providence? |
| Another dance at the competition |

Great snaps.. As mentioned I especially love to see audience snaps.. this is what is worth looking at.. the girl looks so happy on top of her dad's head caring so little of the dance!
