An Indian tribal man rest next to his axe after a hunting festival in the Audhoya jungle, about 350 km (217 miles) west of Kolkata May 2, 2007. Thousands celebrated an annual night-long festival in which they hunt animals with bows and arrows. Hunting is strictly banned in India but the state government waives the law for the day.
