Its funny to notice how they enjoy the attention they get from people. While i hide in my little hole they always entertain me by coming to my shop often.
People often mistake them for beggars but they are actually called 'songadi' a type of folk artists. They go from house to house in our case shop to shop to collect some food, alms whatever people are ready to give them.
In this art they dress up like gods, animals and play lovely music. Once a man dressed as a cat visited me. He did a cat dance form and also made all the noises of a cat which I thought was amazing.
These days they dress up like police, whistle and scream "they whistle and say chala me arrest karayala aloo ahe!!"(in marathi)
I still prefer the lovely cat and tiger. Its enchanting.
