More dancing! I was exhausted just watching.
In this dance, a form of Pinnal Kolattam (I might be wrong on this), each woman grabbed a scarf hanging from the center, then wove it with others as they danced, making really pretty braids. Then - and here's the kicker - they reversed the steps exactly to unwind the scarves. Pretty awesome. The crowd really enjoyed this one (of course), and the poor ladies were forced to do an encore after the Pookalam winners were announced. (I'll let you know who won the Pookalam contest later - in the meantime, feel free to vote for your favorite, I've added the pictures as a poll on the left <---------- side of the blog screen. If you're getting this in email, you'll have to visit the blog site)
