there's a festival where statues of jagganath and his two pals are wheeled to the beach for a week to have a holiday - the rath yatra

ok here's a GREAT one.

lord krishna's alias jagganath (the one with the black face) - PURE CARTOON CHARACTER

@Matthew Your post just reminded me of this album that is buried away in my vinyl collection...it's been hiding under my nose for years! That may be a problem with my hoarding vinyl...some shelves are inaccessible...

In my opinion Suns of Arqa are in the same league as Simply Red and The Fall, because anyone from Greater Manchester who has ever picked up an instrument has probably played in them for a bit...

I couldn't find youtube clips of the original album, but I did find these tracks from the remix album:

oh i had no idea sherwood was on it. that was something i sent a rip off to martin clark back in the day.

there was a bit of an On-u / Arqa crossover in the early 80s - this is probably the wrong place to post this, but:

This appeared on a Taiwanese website last year - it was originally on Hong Kong Twitter, but gained more exposure when Taiwan News had it featured as their photo of the day in a bid to show solidarity with India in their struggle with China - I'm not sure about the wording, but I like the idea of a War in Heaven being fought out by cartoon characters - Lord Rama vs Chinese Dragon

A mix of traditions - some purists insist that the Tarot is a game, not divination, so I suppose this "Ganeshian Village Tarot" counts as a card game

That post from sufi in the other thread, the jimi hendrix cover, reminds me to post this

"Now, by all odds, the most ancient extant portrait anyways purporting to be the whale's, is to be found in the famous cavern-pagoda of Elephants, in India. The Brahmins maintain that in the almost endless sculptures of that immemorial pagoda, all the trades and pursuits, every conceivable avocation of man, were prefigured ages before any of them actually came into being. No wonder then, that in some sort our noble profession of whaling should have been there shadowed forth. The Hindoo whale referred to, occurs in a separate department of the wall, depicting the incarnation of Vishnu in the form of leviathan, learnedly known as the Matse Avatar. But though this sculpture is half man and half whale, so as only to give the tail of the latter, yet that small section of him is all wrong. It looks more like the tapering of an anaconda, than the broad palms of the true whale's majestic flukes."

That's one of the reasons moby dick is so good. When he does those taxonomy chapters, it's like reading a really good documentary history book
