Indian Festival

A spectacle of color and excitement unfolds as Pulikali dancers, adorned in tiger-striped attire, enthrall onlookers with their powerful gestures and thunderous steps. The performers, with their bodies painted in bold black, white, and yellow, animate the myths of Kerala on the bustling streets. Illuminated by the night and surrounded by a forest of lights, this image captures the essence of Onam—a celebration where folklore leaps into the present, and tradition pulses with contemporary beats.
