hi Frank, nice to see you, and thanx for you comments; these boys dressed as Hindu gods, Lord Shiva & Rama, makes road show to earn their extra livelihood in Calcutta and other towns other than farming etc; people from a particular village about 60 km away from Calcutta does this kind of act during march-april and other festive days; their earning varies from USD 3 to 6 per day depending upon the areas they visit; they are locally called in Bengali "Bohurupee" or chameleon, as they assumes in various outfit of Hindu gods and goddess, annimals and even as mad people; incidentally they are three brothers, Monga (L), Sakti (M) and Somnath (R); thanks again for your interst, best - Bikas
