Vijaya Dasami 2009

After the nine nights and days of navaratri, the festival culminated with Dusshera, or Vijaya Dashami. For us, the highlight of the day was our visit to the Fine Arts Society, Chembur for Guru Vandana and Vidyarambham � where we pay our respects to our teacher and begin a new year of musical education, or rather, Samhith does, progressing from the junior music level to senior this year�..

I complete this series of festival blogs with my photographs of the Fine Arts Kolu, one of the best in this area�.

Here is the main Kolu..

This is the side decoration � this time, Tirupati, with a cave underneath�. I couldn�t get more details about this since everyone was tied up with the Vijaya Dashami celebrations�..

Here are some detailed shots of the dolls�.

Well, thats all for this year, folks.... Shall be back with something new... till, then, keep reading my blog and suggest topics for me to write about!!!!
