Cloudy weather kept us teasing.
At the morning kutcheri at the Nageswara Rao Park, two kids from the US Jayashri and Shruthi Sarathy were experiencing a different climate, atmosphere and audience.
Good take off for a fest.
It rained just after the kutcheri.
We were planning ahead for the day. An evening workshop for kids and an Art Contest for kids.
Arts person Kamla Ravikumar, the resource person for the Clay modelling workshop called to say that she hasn't been doing well.
But landed at the Park sharp at 5 pm protecting herself with a sweater and the kids jumped in excitement!
Dolls, animals, cellphones, faces of grandma - all came alive in clay.
The Lambadi folk group from Andhra landed up in colourful costumes. And the festival evening spirit was on!
When we moved to the temple area, the books and handicrafts stalls were already rolling their businesses.
The food street was catching up with spread of kozahakattai, kuzhi paniyaram and two-in-one dosas
The dance at the temple had a hick up. The sound system had to be replaced!
On the main stage, guru Hemalatha's students rocked with three different types of folk dances.
Andhra folk dances followed.
The end of day one.
Then came the rain. It poured through the night!
