Kala Ghoda Festival

Saturday we decided to head down to the famous Kala Ghoda art festival.  This three week festival includes visual art, crafts, and street performances.  The name Kala Ghoda means black horse, a reference to the black stone statue of King Edward VII that once dominated the central square of the neighborhood.  After Indian independence the statue was relocated to a nearby zoo but the neighborhood still retains the name Kala Ghoda.  The festival was more than a little crowded but we still managed to have a good time :-) See pics below.
