Scenes from India....

Couldn't wait untill next wednesday when I saw these pictures on the net...have a look

Devotees carry a statue of the Hindu God Ganesh, the deity of prosperity, for immersion in the sea, on the last day of "Ganesh Chaturthi". Clay statues of Ganesh are made two to three months before this popular religious festival in India. The idols are taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing and singing, to be immersed in a river symbolizing a ritual sendoff on his journey towards his home.


Activists of the People for Animals (PFA) an NGO hold two Dwarf tortoises, which were rescued from a resident in Guwahati, 2008. The pair were later released into the the Dighalipukhuri pond in Guwahati, the capital city of India’s northeastern state of Assam.


Forestry workers look on as a male Royal Bengal Tiger leaps off a boat into the water after being released back into the wild in The Chamta Forest District of The Sunderbans, in India, 2008. The tiger was declared fit for release by veterinarians after it was recently rescued from a nearby village.


A Theyyam dancer waits to perform during festivities marking the start of the annual harvest festival of "Onam" in the southern Indian city of Kochi. The 10-day long festival is celebrated annually in India's southern coastal state of Kerala to symbolise the return of King Mahabali to meet his beloved subjects.

Somethings cant hold us back...I guess its the impressive pictures in my case!!!
