A bright green giant "peacock" and a cream coloured dummy horse joined 20 dancers Sunday  19th who enlivened the already spectacular Hindu religious Kavadi procession.

Dressed in white and sporting a bright red spot painted on his forehead, Hindu devotee, Siva Supramaniam, told Nation that the dancers had come from India, and were an addition to the normal exciting team who normally thrill and amaze both foreigners and locals.

"We are aware it has become a national tourist attraction," an Indian national happily told the press, as the procession left Navasakthi Vinayagar temple along Quincy Street.

The faithfuls then followed a troop of dancers who performed flog dances through Revolution Avenue, Harrison and Lodge streets before returning to the temple where the various parties who took part in the ceremony enjoyed lunch together with members of the public.
