Title:
From Erode: Mangalore, probably May 7th. Compare the horse-masks 153, 154 with those in Cananore (Chirakkal) no.123, 124. The mask made of Arecasheath prepared then and there.

I think the boys covered with greass were devils, whereas the man on the horse played a somewhat clownish part, wearing a topi, which people always feel as more or less clownish. Photographer: Bake, Arnold Adriaan
