Big fat Indian weddings have FAT wastes generated. There are a small group of people making a change in the way weddings are conducted.

Decorations, lightings, innumerable food counters, and nowadays a dream-like entry of the pair to accompanying fireworks, is the pattern. Everyone, regardless of means, wants their own version of a fairyland wedding and the excuse for the extravaganza often is, ‘after all, it is once in a lifetime’.

Prasad Cherkadi was studying magnetism and came to Bangalore about fifteen years ago from the coastal town of Brahmavar to study for a PhD at the Indian Institute of Science and realised he wanted to become an artist and perform Yakshagana, instead. He was part of a group called Dheemgina meaning ‘movement’. Mohammed Yacoob, a journalist in Bangalore met Prasad in the group and together they performed a few shows with the troupe.
