I HEARD MUSIC AND ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM A NEARBY VILLAGE and wondered what event was happening.  Several workers told me it was a Boli Kela.  They said it was a wrestling match.  I went to check it out, and lo and behold it was an event where the villagers brought their bulls and tried to get them to fight!  I got some great photos of the action.  One fellow said the fighting was quite tame, as it seemed that the bulls couldn’t quite get into it.
