Navrathri 92 Chattanooga

I've been digitizing some old fieldwork videos, and thought I'd share some. Here is some of a five-hour video shoot I did in Chattanooga in 1992, while folklorist at Allied Arts of Chattanooga. I started there in '91, I think, and some of the first fieldwork I did in Chattanooga was in the South Asian community.

I was invited to this celebration of Navrathri, at the UTC-Chattanooga gym, by a local bharathanatyam dance teacher. The event was sponsored by the Engineers Group of the local Gujarathi Samaj.
