This is some weird Bengali dance where they beat the drum and wave around some pots of incense. There is no real reason for it to us, but it means something to them it seems. Whats funny is the way the people run around picking up the hot ashes so the dancers dont step on them, its actually more fun watching the ash pick up people.

Need I say more!

This is on a signboard at our apartment complex, they have the Puja sponsored by lots of companies who have posted ad boards all around the complex.

Well its loud, how loud, really really loud. I don’t know why it has to be so loud but it is! We are on the 11 and 12 floors of the building and watch the video you can see how loud it is!.

This is the Puja Idol at our apartment complex:

Every day from about 10am they start singing and dancing, talking over the PA and dancing and wailing thru the speakers. It must be fun for them but its not for us.

Driving down the street last night, it looks like christmas in the west, all the buildings have lights and music, and lights…oh did I mention music, its like the competition is to have the loudest music.

Anyway here is some of the dancing spectacular last night (if it doesnt load I am working on it);
