On the theme of music these photos were taken on a visit to Chennai, India in 2008. Staying in Fisherman’s Cove resort we were treated to an unusual dance routine accompanied by local traditional musicians. Just looking at the dancers with their feet-bells brings back the memory of the gently resonating bells representing precisely the rhythmic movements of the dancing feet.
In addition there are some photos of paintings of Shiva and historical Indian instruments from a nearby museum. Sorry, I can’t remember where this was, except for being close to Fisherman’s Cove.
