Do it like krishna

#kumbhmela2013 #lonelyplanetindia #lonelyplanet #travel #allahabad #india #culture #worthsaving #streetsofindia#lord #krishna #walking #jewellery #shop #traditional I got a chance to see this interesting fellow at kumbh 2013. Dressed as #lordkrishna, greeting everybody and anybody on the way. His face painted in white and wore innumerous #neclace . Wont be an exaggeration to call him as chalti firti (walking) jewellery shop. I liked this guy for two reasons. Firstly, he was not disturbing any one or interfering with any of the #visitors or #devotees as is usually by #sadhus or #pundits at such places. Secondly, he was not forcing any one for any kind of #dakshina or #donation or #charity. The guy was standing in the corner and #greeting everyone with #namaskar. If someone offered him anything he accepted that with pleasure. I also liked him for his personal taste, even while enacting as someone. Lord krishna is beleived to have dark complexion, but irony is that he painted the face white which also signifies the indian obsession with fairness. It is fun as well informative to have such people at cultural traditional events. Their gestures and acts bring smile on each face. They also display the certain aspects of our culture. Krishna was beleived to be solah #kala #sampoorn, atleast two kalas namely #lila and #kantih are being displayed by this individual.
