We took part in the Rann Utsav 2011 on December 10. The event took place at the Kala Dungar and Dhorado Village. This year we had great fun at the white salty desert of Kutch because the Total Lunar Eclipse took place on the same day. We showed the coppery moon to the tourist who came from all around the world! Here I am sharing few photos of the event. Hope you will like.
