Good work Rina!! You have creatively set dancers in diagonal line which makes this Picture look vivid even it is a normal perspective.
Photographer can use ‘lines’ (visible or invisible ) in the photographs to direct a viewer’s eye to their focus attention and such lines can reinforce the mood of a scene. Generally vertical lines may express feeling of dignity and grandeur. Horizontal lines often convey a sense of balance and quite restfulness. Likewise diagonal lines can suggest energy and possible movement. The lines of a triangle may emphasize action or stillness.
Grate shot!
but i think something is missing in the title.
this is the “Deitya Pyankhyan” which is resemble the Ghost.
I don’t know why This community (Newar) worship so many “Deitya” (demon).
nice!
I remember watching Demon Dance (Deitya Pyankhyan) in Jaisidewal during Indrajatra when I was little. I used to stay and watch the dance the whole day. I am so glad to know that this dance is still performed. Thank you so much for the picture. Cheers.
