The Mela is an annual celebration of South Asian culture. In this image one of two ladies is about to demonstrate the playing of a veena, a large stringed instrument. It is very heavy. I had a go at playing it. NOTE. This image has a detailed ‘shared description’ which you won’t see by viewing this image on a slideshow. To read it click on the image.
