Tuesday Streetart: Swan Street – 93

Visually, this mural is very eye catching. The mural was created by Danny Awes and is located on the side of the Feast of Merit Restaurant in Swan Street, Richmond. The mural illustrates the Feast of Merit tradition from Nagaland, where a person of means provides feasts for the community over an extended period, earning respect and status.

    Interesting! When you wrote Richmond, I didn’t know whether you meant the wealthy London suburb, or the comfortablle North Yorkshire market town. Neither of the above ….

    This is interesting. I had no idea about the feast of Merit. It’s a lovely tradition and beautifully depicted here in so much detail.
