    Sorry friend. I work from home, so did not go out in the traditional dress. But I have searched in the net to find just a single photo of women in traditional dress lighting a lamp: http://keralacenter.tripod.com/onamlamp.jpg[^].

      Today is the date of formation of my state Kerala. Long, long ago [can't remember the year], Kerala was formed by merging all Malayalam [official language]- speaking areas. In other words, today is Kerala's b'day :). Not a holiday, nor a special day for the common man, but lots of activity by the politicians and the literary people. All men and women [mostly students and working people] wear traditional dresses and that is a great sight. Happy birthday Kerala!

              I went to Kerala in 1999 with my now wife. We spent six months in India, travelling around, and Kerala was our favourite place overall. So happy birthday. Isn't Trivandrum now known as Thiruvanthurapam (or something similar)?

                            Can't remember where we stayed in Trivandrum - only spent one night there before heading on to Varkala. Malayalam is a very curly language :)

                              all of it really, but we weren't so keen on the Kathakali for some reason.

                                    That's not so bad - in Colorado (where i now live), the law forbids shops to sell beverages with greater than 3.2% alcohol on Sundays.
