Diwali



This is one of the floats in the Diwali motorcade. The girl is dressed as Lakshi, who is the goddess of happiness and prosperity. She has her raised right hand painted with symbols, and sits perfectly still as she glides past - no looking round and no smiles. The roadside is thronged with people watching, there are police directing the traffic, and in the distance the sound of people setting off firecrackers as they wait for the procession to come past.
