Koovagam is a village in the Ulundurpettai taluk in Villupuram district, Tamil Nadu. It is famous for its annual festival of transgender and transvestite individuals, which takes fifteen days in the Tamil month of Chitrai (April/May).
The festival takes place at the Koothandavar Temple dedicated to Aravan (Koothandavar). The participants marry the Lord Koothandavar, thus reenacting an ancient myth of Lord Vishnu/Krishna who married him after taking a form of a woman called Mohini. The next day, they mourn the god Koothandavar's death through ritualistic dances and by breaking their bangles. An annual beauty pageant and several other competitions like singing contests are held.
Basic rights of transgender and transvestite individuals and health care are discussed in seminars too. People from different places attend this festival.
Location From Viluppuram 25 km and from Ulundurpet 15 km.

Robert Wagner Park, New York City
Tom Gold Dance, "Plan & Elevation"
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the annual outdoor Battery Dance Festival went virtual this year, like so many other performances.
So there was no live festival and most of the international dance companies that participated did so via video.
But NYC let the Festival film a handful of the performers live, albeit in the very early morning, as a way to discourage curious onlookers. These are some of the companies that participated; but this necessarily is a very small sampling.

Since Día de Los Muertos started today, Elena decided to start celebrating it.
Sunday of Glastonbury Festival requires dozens of buses to bring "day visitors" from nearby towns to the Festival. Go South Coast are regular contributors of a large proportion of the Sunday buses.
