Shado Play, Doll Play, And Kuchipudi Dance

In a weather where you just can't seem to find any shadows (except if you are counting the shady promises you hear from your local water works officer about supply being better the day after tomorrow), here's a whole lot of them in just one evening.

Chaitanya Art Theaters is a social and cultural organization that was established in 1984 to stand as a symbol of quality and to conduct programs to encourage thousands of amateur artists in Andhra Pradesh. For the past 18 years, the organization has conducted several cultural functions to protect and promote Indian culture and heritage. It has established records in organizing cultural functions for several days at a stretch, and at several theaters on the same day in Hyderabad. And it keeps breaking its own records …like it is now.
