People watch as a traditional bull charmer belonging to the Kole Basava community balances a fully grown bull on his thighs for a performance during a protest against the Karnataka state government in Bangalore on July 18, 2016. Members of the Kole Basava community are demanding housing and basic amenities from the state government. Kole Basavas are a part of local tradition and folklore, with trained and heavily decorated bulls asked questions about the future and offerings of money and food provided to the bulls in return for a nod of its head in response. / AFP PHOTO / MANJUNATH KIRAN
