Nothing like this!

I find folklore amazing 

because of the way it brings 

a whole set of 

experiences, hope, expressions 

of  generations before us.

Folklore is shared by a group

 having the same culture, traditions,

sense of beauty.

 It keeps people connected, 

offers  a chance for creative expression, 

and keeps memories alive.

Here are some more pics taken from my 

visit to the 

Folklore Museum.

different masks used in theatrical performances

Ganapati, the elephant headed god.

Zamorin, one of the line of rulers who granted permission for Vasco Da Gama to land.(You can see his crown on the table)

Speaking of connectedness, 

I thought of  the

Bloglore

that we seem to have in common!
An amazing sense of identification, right?
