When I was taking his picture he turned to his left profile, I shifted, and strode to his left profile in order to take a front profile picture. Simultaneously, he turned his gaze to right profile, apparently, not wanting to get clicked. The thing being without charging Rs. 20 he wouldn’t let anybody click his pictures. Everyone was busy taking shots of him, smiling and nodding. He was happy being paid and earning his own way. But I feel most of the crowd must have failed to notice the spatter of tears on his excessive make up. The kid must not be willing to stand in the scorching sun but he had to in order to earn his bread. And What not this money leads a human to do….. But nonetheless, li’l shiva didn’t fail to charm everyone with his cuteness.

Shri Vittal Birdev Annual Yatra is observed in at Pattan Kodoli village in Hatkangale Taluka near Kolhapur. It is the birth anniversary or Janmotsav festival of Vitthal Birdev Maharaj, who is a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. The annual fair and festival attracts thousands of devotees to Pattan Kodoli village. The festival is celebrated with bhandara. It is yellow powder, looks very similar to turmeric, but it is different. It has no smell and it is believed to have medicinal properties. The Shepherd community offer bhandara mixed with dry coconut pieces to god. It is consecrated by showering the God’s idol. The devotees collect the bhandara from the God’s feet and take it to their home. They use it on auspicious occasions and to cure any illness. During the festival thousands of devotees gather in an open area in front of the banyan tree to watch the rituals. Throughout the day you can see many people gather in small groups and sing bhajans and folk songs. The devotees also shower bhandara on everything they like or worship. During the peak of the procession your will be mesmerized and lost in the moment. In the blink of an eye everything turns to yellow.
