    Reported by:

    Thirty eight members of ''The Manganiyar Seduction" troupe, drawn from villages of the Thar desert of India accept the audience's applause at the end of their performance at the Jaipur performing arts festival. Singing sufi lyrics to the accompaniment of folk instruments, the 67 minute long solo track builds up as each performer reveals himself from his individual jewellery cube by sliding his curtain aside. By the crescendo, the entire 'box' is open and the audience mesmerized.

    This image made me step back and say "Whoa" as I took in the entire scene. I've never seen something like this before, but I like it! The lighting and the color of the boxes makes this image just pop off the page.
