| Vintage was theme for one of the many rallies in Girgaon |
The traditional new year for Maharastrians and Konkani Hindus, Gudi Padwa, is celebrated with great enthusiasm on the streets of Girgoan. It is not less than a mini-carnival, where you have bands performing, colourful rallies passing and everyone having a good time. This being my first year there, I was like a scavenger with the camera looking out to click whatever there is to offer.

The ceremony begins with the traditional band performances of Dhol and Tasha. These particular bands have rose back to fame in past few years. The major attraction of these bands — other than the rhythmic beats — is the women participation in it. All the female players had paparazzi around them as they slayed with their performances.
   The women participation is the pièce de résistance of the ceremony. The Dhol-Tasha ceremony is followed by the motorbike rally. This is the main charisma of the whole ceremony. You can see more people clicking pictures than participating in the rally.   The elders who have seen the township in its golden days do not look very surprised at the event, but the kids are looking forward to view every single moment of it. Of many families who moved to the suburbs from Girgaon were seen roaming their memory lane as well.    The festival would have been incomplete without a tinge of cuteness to it. Last year, I had stated that the underground metro was digging holes in the soul of the city, but festivals as such prove be therapy to those injuries. The heritage of the city truly breaths life in it through the streets of Girgaon during Padwa. |
