In time for the Commonwealth Games, which I am sure many people know are running, I have a great collection of Indian folk art photographs that I took while on my trip a month back. Luckily, they havent had time to get dusty so here they are! This first piece is of Ganesh, a Hindu god. I picked it up in South India whilst on a road-trip, and its made of coir (coconut husks) and it has such a unique, fragrant smell, its nothing like i've smelt before. I picked it up for Rs. 160 which i guess is around $6. I think its well worth it, and it hangs above my bed :D
