Celebrations of Diwali are characterised by dances of swirling colours, clapping and stamping...
...with colourful dresses extending from the top to toes...
...and with feet ornamented with traditional jewelry featuring prominently during the dances.
The loose and colourful cloths swirl and swish adding to the dynamics of the celebrations...
...revealing bellybuttons swinging and twisting in the rhythm of the energetic music.
Yet all good fun needs to end leaving sadness in the eyes of the young ones...
...skilfully balancing elaborated headdresses on their heads during traditional dances.
Regional varieties are stunning, with different dresses...
...but all equally colourful and dynamic.
Each region comes with their cultural background displaying their often sophisticated dances.
Indeed, Incredible India comes to mind while watching just a tiniest part of the cultural heritage if the subcontinent.
and having really good fun!
