These are 'Bhajan Mandalis' or 'Hymn Groups' which perform during any religious festivals adding lot of colour and verve to the festivities. Generally they are locals who have formed groups for this purpose. They are like carol singers during Christmas.For more on the Thursday Challenge theme and photos click here
