Stunning capture, the colours are wonderful.
Spectacular image … I’m sure this was wonderful to see.
Great photo …
I love your images, Joshi. You always manage to capture such a personal photo. I love the colours, especially. It must be so busy there, while the performance is going on. How many people typically attend this?
That is really cool! I love it. Where is Kerela? The colors are great. Very good in capturing this one! Magnificent!

awesome photograph
perfect composition with excellent color combination; this is a stunning and attractive photo Joshi ( it goes without saying the action with in the photo is totally amazing and completely unique! )
It’s a beautiful shot and the long lens you have used compresses the perspective so that the action is distilled and tight. You captured the peak of the moment at the exact right time.
brilliant.. absolutely brilliant
Beautifully shot !
Wonderful photograph and great colors!
Gorgeous colors. :-) I’m finally catching up again on blog posts. Thanks for your patience! :-)
Love it!
Greatly composed, i love what i see also on both sides. Hope you are fine, Joshi*
so much dynamic, i love it!
Fierce..
The dominant colours of red, white and gold are very striking. The strong poses of the dancers with the golden shield acting as a bulls eye right in the centre, catches my attention.
Beautiful! Long time ago I had an Indian stamp which showed Velakali – great to see the real thing.
Dynamic! Great capture!
Damn! too good!
Perfect focus there. It’s been a long time since I went to the kshetram.
