Red Oracles in Trance !
The female oracles hold a sabre adorned with tinkle bells and sway to a hypnotic rhythm of their mind.
Dressed in red they appear every year in the Bhagvathy Temple at Kodungaloor, Kerala in the month of March/April. This is a peculiar festival of color, devotion and a statement on the caste schisms of India.
This shot cropped from a larger frame of 5 dancers.
For more details on the festival... Red Religion
Thanks be to the constructive inputs on this shot of the Oracles by the Oracle Lady
