Every year for one shortlived month, mere mortals become Gods. And relive epics. The ceremonies itself border on bizarre. Sugriv and Bali fight a battle that only Bali can win traditionally. The peace needs to be brokered by Papooran (Hanuman).

ends.dundeehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07159414555035618339noreply@blogger.comBlogger121100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11555855.post-1111238586537076192005-03-19T18:53:00.000+05:302005-03-19T19:26:28.013+05:30<a
