People in dress up like Charlie Chaplin for his birthday
Every year on 16 April, more than 1000 people gather in a small town in Gujarat to celebrate Charlie Chaplin's birthday. Participants, which include young and old, male and female, are members of Charlie Circle, a local fan club that has been marking Chaplin's birthday annually since 1973. Many had used black marker pens to draw on Chaplin's trademark toothbrush moustache while others opted to stick on fake ones. Children wore Chaplin face masks while some carried life-sized cut-outs of him as a stereo loaded onto a truck blasted out popular Bollywood songs.
