Ketut, Madé's Friend.

Kedan - Tuban. (Odalan).

Dans la caste des sudras, la plus nombreuse à Bali, les parents n’ont guère le choix pour donner un prénom à leurs enfants:
Qu’il soit garçon ou fille le premier s’appellera Wayang, le second Madé, le troisième Nyoman et le quatrième Ketut. Si un cinquième enfant vient au monde dans certaines regions on l’appellera Putu ou Gede, mais généralement on reprendra le cycle initial et il se prénommera Wayang….
Ainsi on ne s’étonnera pas, si, reconnaissant quelqu’un dans la rue et lui criant « Nyoman ! » pour attirer son attention, vous voyez plusieurs personnes s’arrêter et se tourner vers vous.

In the Sudra caste, the largest in Bali, parents have little choice to give their children a first name:
Whether he is a boy or a girl, the first will be called Wayang, the second Madé, the third Nyoman and the fourth Ketut. If a fifth child comes into this world in certain regions, it will be called Putu or Gede, but generally we will resume the initial cycle and it will be called Wayang….
So it is not surprising, if, recognizing someone in the street and yelling at him "Nyoman!" to get his attention, you see several people stop and turn to you.

Fascinating to learn of the ways of naming. A sweet image for the fourth.

a touching image, the dancer so lost in the moment as in a trance...all the colour in a triangle serves well to intensify the focus on Ketut...V

What a beautiful young lady with a serious expression. So she is the forth seen despite the given name "VV"

Wonderful portrait with this pose, expression and all this color. "V"
Interesting choice of names as Wayang means puppet in both the Balinese and Javanese languages.
