Bullock cart, tonga , other races on Holi at Alibag at Murud on Gudi Padwa in Raigad district Maharashtra.
Presently banned.
This is a new series , I was introduced to this form of action photography , panning by my mentor Shreekanth Malushte , here I met Jayant Dhulap who works for the Express Group , in whose house we stayed when we arrived from Mumbai by a catamaran to Alibagh from Mandwa pier ..a short bus trip that bought us to Alibagh bus depot.
Jayant Dhulaps house is very close to the beach , he and his wife and his daughter Abha are fantastic hosts, unfortunately with orders from the High Court this event has been banned.I owe much to the finesse in my picture taking to the experience I gained shooing these races, invariably the Holi festival would bring me to Alibagh , Guddi Padwa to Murud Janjira , for their bullock cart race.
All this happened during the mourning period of Moharam.
This was a shot I climbed a transformer cabin..I have never shot the race from top,the feel look is different,,
