After heading into town I had some food and explored whilst I waited for the festival to start.

There were army soldiers everywhere manned with AK-47 rifles a new an interesting experience.

I found a good location and waited for the procession to begin. The festival lasted about 5 hours and had about 70 elephants! Hundreds of dancers weaving In between with drummers pounding away into the night.

The procession was amazing so much colour and dance and energy.
