नवरात्रि

Went to a Navratri festival last month with Kshama. I meant to put these pictures up then, but I've been busy. 

Navratri is a festival that lasts 9 days, sometimes 10. It also celebrates Durga defeating a demon. The goddess form is worshipped all 9 (10) days, and they usually hold these late night dances every night. We were there from about 8-1am. 

It was a lot of fun... there was good food, fun music, beautiful clothes, and fast-paced garba dancing for five hours straight! It was incredible!! (My feet ached for days) :)

Also, I was really disappointed about the fact that I had taken the damaged memory card with me, so I don't have many good pictures. Next year, I guess!
