Bhopal's Lokrang showcases exhibition of masks this year. Masks have been worn by nearly all cultures. Reasons could be varied, could be a form of disguise, by an actor in a performance, or as part of a religious ceremony or some places it may be punishment for a crimine or in celebration of a holiday. Diverse masks from India and overseas are on display at the exhibition being held at the festival. Interesting ones to be seen are masks from South Korea, Sri Lanka, China, Indonesia, Bhutan, and Nepal among others. Though all of us wear some kind of mask, many a times which adapts to situation and time, though invisible !!......but have a look at few visible man made masks, which are on display at Lokrang ......
