Opis:

Photography (scan from a slide). Fragment of a tribal feast of Bhils dedicated to the goddess Gauri. The festival lasts for about 40 days and takes place during the rainy season. Every day a group of men from the tribe are dancing in the next village. Culminating celebration in this region takes place on the outskirts of Udaipur and within a few hours of dancing and playing a scene from tribal mythology, the most of them connected with life of a deity Rai Budiya. At the end of the procession holy figure of the goddess Gauri is thrown into the water. The picture shows a group of actors with faces painted in black and decorated with leaves, playing an episode of the hunt. Two of them holds a ladder on which in turn enter all people and jumping for 'the other side'. They dance around the center, where is a group of men dressed in white, and white or yellow turbans. The audience is sitting around the stage. On the back are visible rural buildings facing the main square
