Tuesday's Art Notes

Indian artists dressed up as the Hindu goddess MahaKali perform with fire in a street during the final procession of the eleven day traditional festival of Bonalu, a ritual offering to the goddess at Sri Akkanna Madanna Mahankali Mandiran in Hyderabad, on July 25, 2011. MahaKali is honored mostly by women during Bonalu festival by offerings of food and dancing.
