My photograph taken with a traditional folk art performer who is playing the character of Lord Narasimha Swamy sharing today on the auspicious Narasimha Jayanthi festival
This photograph taken with a traditional folk art performer who is playing the character of Lord Narasimha Swamy. I taken this photograph alongwith him at the time of traditional performances during Navaratri festival 9 days. In the golden old days such traditional performances are playing continuously throughout night because at that time people are interested in these traditional intangible art forms. But now-a-days most of the people are paying very less interest on these traditional intangible art forms and due to this reason now we lost almost 90 percent of Intangible Art forms in India. From my side i am trying to documenting these art forms whenever i observed them during festivals and in other occasions.Sharing this photograph today on the auspicious Narasimha Jayanthi festival.
