As I was leaving Sanjay's house I spotted some more wall decoration, the work looked familiar and Sanjay indicated that it was his own.The work had been commissioned for a celebration within the household.
The figures, in beautiul colours, process along the wall, playing musical instruments and dancing around a figure, shaded by an umbrella, on a horse. It is as if the figures in the Mata ni Pachedi have come alive from the cloth and run down the road.
The walls are covered with floral designs and the mandalas.
Interestingly the designs have incorporated printed tiles bearing images of the Hindu Gods including Vishnu and Rama.
I had read somewhere that residents has started placing ceramic tiles with images of their Gods on their boundary walls (at a strategic height) as a way of deterring people from urinating against their property.
Walking to the Pol I noticed more wall decoration, Images of Ganesh appear almost burnt into the wall.
