When gods come visitng

The religious city of Mangalore visits the gods of the temples every day. But today the gods visited the city. Boy, did they get a royal welcome?

Gods in all their wordly splendor

All the demons are disturbed on Dussera

Sleeping Kumbakarna disturbed in to waking time and again.

All the lights and glitter that make this night magical

Entertainment on wheels - quite romantic too

Typically men dress up as women in these song and dances on wheels.

Huge dancing dolls brings a thrill to people of all ages

The gentle people of Mangalore

The event was organized by the Kudroli temple.

I recommend Mangalore as a city to hold big events. People are very orderly. Stampedes and unruly behavior dont happen here. The Mangalore police is always on their toes keeping order.
