Well summer is never complete without a festival or two...and here in
Sarasota and Bradenton, or Manasota.....today was no exception ....with the fabulous Indian Festival...
above is a hand painted peacock image...and you know how much I love me some peacock images....
This lovely Namaste poster for the event was created by a local High School female student...it is very clever and lovely!
The stage before the festivities begin.....
The festival gets under way with announcements and history...
The beautiful young ladies lead a prayer to Ganesh....
Lamps are lit to bless the event.
This lady performed a poem and a dance as tribute to the gods of the Himalayas
I loved the energy and dance of these Punjab style dancers...so energetic and so coordinated
