Shiva bows to Rawan

Yesterday was the Gran Finale of the open air street theatre "Ramleela" held at the Sangre Grande HIndu School where a 65ft Ravana effigy was shot with a flaming arrow from Lord Rama's bow. School kids from the school all took part in the preceding days ( it ran for 7 days as a continuing story). Here Lord Shiva (in blue) and another "freed citizen" of Lanka celebrate the destruction of Ravana. This ceremony was done under the supervision of the Fire Services and withing 5 minutes this was nearly completely burnt out. What a spectacle!

 

I hope that you would appreciate the break from birds and wildlife and have a peek into and appreciate the multifaceted and cosmopolitan nature of our people.
