Kaalavela / കാളവേല!

This photo was taken by my cousin (Sanoop) using a Nikon D40x and the standard Nikkor 18-55 lens in Cherpulassery, Kerala, India. The procession of the bull motifs is an important ritual of the local temple festival (പുത്തനാല്‍ക്കല്‍ ഭഗവതി ക്ഷേത്രം) which also marks the beginning of the festival season in the valluvanad(വള്ളുവനാട്) region of my home state - Kerala.
