Festival of Chariots

This afternoon, while on an outing with one of my photo groups, I came upon the Festival of Chariots. I'd heard of it, but this was the first time I chanced to see it. I followed the procession of dancers, singers, and the devout down Stephen Avenue to Shaw Millennium Park. At the end of the parade food and flowers were tossed from the chariot (a huge float-like structure covered in flowers) to the masses.
