A dying breed

A rare instance of a 'Vasudev' seen in Bandra east.
'Vasudev' are people believed to be incarnation of Lord Krishna. Bedecked in the distinctive headgear of peacock feathers, performers sing Vasudev songs and with nimble, delicate dance steps, whirl around presenting anecdotes from Lord Krishna's life in exchange for alms. They sing soothing, melodious notes through the villages in the morning time. Historically they belong to the Satvata tribe

    His hat - no offense - reminds me a bit of a traditional Christmas tree.

    That's a great pic.
    And such an interesting story. I'm going to go see if I can find videos of a Vasudev, now. :)
