Photos from the XXI International Student Folklore Festival in Krakow
After the downer that was my previous photography post, I felt the need to post something a lot less serious and a lot more full of Life. And here it is...

When I was visiting Krakow I stayed in an apartment right on the main town square. One evening on my way back from work I noticed a call center of Indians milling around the town square. I was intrigued by the t-shirts they were all wearing that advertised something called 'Shilpagya'. They seemed to be speaking Gujarati. Never imagining what a gaggle of Gujaratis were doing in Krakow I went up to them and stuck up a conversation. I found out that they were part of a folk arts music group from Ahmedabad and were in Poland for some student folk arts festival. They invited me to come see their performance.

I later found out that this was an annual folk arts festival and was being held for the 21st year. Here are some of the photos from the festival.
