I have been waiting to get these pictures up for a long time. From several months ago....
^ It started like any other lazy weekend day that has a good pipe and a fun book. Then my friend Ward came by looking for someone to go explore the festival out on the streets - Ganesh Chathurti.
^ Being a white guy at the festival meant that the local people focus on you like a laser - ruining your shirts, putting Telugu phrases around your forehead, and generally attacking and wearing your cowboy hat.
^ As you can see, we became a focal point for people to through colored powder and adorn us with flowers. It got a bit out of control for a bit, more pictures to come of this event in the next day or so.
