Interesting photojournal image. Strange that one man to carry the drums and another one to beat it !!!. Are they annoucing something to the 'subjects' of their little kingdom.

Very interesting story.

PS: please take look at the suggestions forum. I have posted some comments about Asia, india.

Regards,
ken.

Wonderful toning & composition....few people have still managed to retain their original identities.


Shiv Kumar Surya   {K:13192} 8/17/2004
KEN!
The drum instrument is know as 'NAGARA' and it is an unique style to play it. They are plying it in the praise of the chief deity 'Jamlu' of their village.
Regards,
'Surya'

Hello Miss S ;-) (which is your name ? Shiv or Surya?)
This is one of the best image I've seen in Henry project.
It's a perfect snapshot of unusual people doing unusual (for us) things in a perfect moment.
A good composition and a well balanced black and white.
I give you my small and personal award as the "best and added to favourite" picture (only one other has "won" this award)

See you

Bye
