Bihu Dance

Thanks for looking in advance.

The super saturated color reminds me of of a promotional giveaway by Shell service stations in the 1950's. On every visit they would give you a free picture of a scenic point in the US. The pictures had the same super-saturated color as this photo as if the paint had been heavily applied with an air gun. It's color you don't encounter much nowadays but which I find very appealing..

Hola Mahen. Una foto muy divertida, excelente el momento captado. Te felicito. Un cordial saludo, Joaquín.

Thanks Jack for stopping by ..I am happy that the colors took you to many years back. The super saturation may also stand for the contrast between Guns and Roses :) Here, I tried to re-capture the glow of the Muga silk (found only in Assam, north-eastern corner of India) cloths the girls are wearing, actually they are like this...shining

 

 

Thanks Joaquin for the kind words..

Thanks Kallol da for the compliment. It is so important to always get closer to one's culture and tradition.

Mahen, you have adroitly captured the festive mood of Bihu .The ladies in traditional 'mekhela' and inclusion of the drummer with 'pepa', enhances the beauty of the image. I have very fond memories of  Rongali and Bhogali Bihu festival in Assam.

“Bihu anondia, Bihu binondia
Bihur mou mitha hat
Bihur ba lagi bihua kokair e
Deu dhoni laguse gat.”

Amal da, I am really flattened with the appreciation. With the addition of the song I think this picture is complete :)

 

Best regards,

Mahen
