The local Hindu festival during the makaravilakku period.

Yesterday we had a Hindu festival celebration in our village, in conjunction with the Makaravilakku. This was the venue. I spotted it only today morning during my cycling spree. It was a great piece of art with it's symmetry and color and it looks purely Indian. It is all done by the local people. It is decorated with flowers, plantains and the stem of the plantain plant / tree.
