I just found this article\/photo set on woophy.com<\/a> this morning and I find it very interesting. Sitting at the bottom of the social Caste system, they provide blessings and curses (and a good time) to all who want them, for a price. All the while they mix up gender roles and conventions in their street performances. They have their own hierarchy of leader, teacher then student.<\/p>\n

Much like our drag queens. But without the voodoo. Sort of. <\/p>\n

Click on one of the article images and you’ll see the whole photo set. <\/p>\n
