The make up and costume for Kathakali performances is a long and elaborate process. Some times it can take a whole day before the performers are ready to go on stage. Here is a moment when the make-up process is in progress behind the stage. While two performers are with make-up artists, another one waits for his turn.

I made this photograph in Badami during the monsoon season last year. Sunflowers usually bloom in July-August months, and in some places there is another season at the end of the year. It is grown in abundance in the fields of central Karnataka.
For some reason, unlike their usual behaviour, the flowers were facing against the sun. Perhaps it had to do with the fact that the sky was cloudy a little while before sunset. Whatever the reason be, it definitely worked good in making this photograph.
