Painting Honey Badgers for Diwali

Diwali is upon us and the sculpture streets in Kolkata are crammed full of all sorts of artistic creations that will eventually wind up in the Ganges river. Diwali is the festival of lights where Kali Ma kills the bad demons and then goes wild and is put under control by her husband laying down in front of her. When she steps on her husband, she realizes her mistake and sticks out her tongue. He husband's pet cobra is on hand, and the honey badger is eating the demons blood. (at least that is the way my buddy, "Short-round" has explained it to me.) Ha!
