Tigers of Pavagadh

Pavagadh is a hillstation 30km from Vadodara, Gujarat. It houses the famous Mahakali Temple. Enroute the peak, you come across a large market with shops selling religious photos, VCDs, books, fruits, coconuts, flowers etc.

I was surprised to see a large number of 'photo stalls' lined up. These stalls have a large wallpaper of a forest, digitally merged images of goddesses and interesting props like stuffed tigers, crocodiles and even a mini motorcycle. The tiger, being the most loved prop as Goddess Mahakali rode on a tiger. I was thrilled to see so many photo crazy devotees.
