Well we have been busy with a lot of things but now since we are coming closer to our festival we are making sure we write more and more about our festival on our blog.
Let me just talk about the most important part of our festival from last year. Our deco and creative director.
Damodharan M. has been a part of this festival since day one. When the first meeting took place and we were scouting for locations Damu and me were just traveling over three days just to find the perfect location and we did.
However things didn’t go as planned and due to some complications we didn’t have a spot till the last minute. When we found our present location it was again together that we quickly decided that we have found out exactly what we were looking for.
Now being a huge island and with water all around, trust me it was not an easy job biscuits and a bottle of whiskey were weaving their own kind of magic on the island. getting all the logistics sorted out. But Damu and his team of Lijosh and Karl dove in with such enthusiasm that eventually we had to tell them to take some time off from the island and come and relax at the base.
Living on the island before the festival is not easy and I can surely vouch for that cos since I was busy traveling, the boys with a bunch of the locals pitched a tent and got to work in the heat of the sun and every time I came on the island I carried some water always!! And the last night before the festival they stayed on the island the whole night with no electricity!!
So with further ado we take a lot of pleasure in introducing the Story tellers with one of its founding members being a founding member of Mandala as well!!
They are experts in weaving magic and always spinning a new story. See them tell their side of the tale at this years Mandala !!
