Traveling Tent Cinemas of India (28 images)

For about six decades now, traveling tent cinema companies accompany Jatras- annual religious fairs which begin in rural Maharashtra, western India after the crop gathering season ends in October. Traveling with these fairs, not very far from the cinema capital of India- Mumbai, the tent talkies hawk an eclectic mix of films- regional language films, Bollywood blockbusters and even dubbed Hollywood flicks as they travel across the rural landscape.
