The annual International Jawa and Yezdi Day is celebrated on the second Sunday of July every year.
Jawa and Yezdi are models of cruiser motorcycles, first rolled out from the former Republic of Czechoslovakia in 1929 and were manufactured in India by Ideal Jawa, Mysore, from 1960.
Hugely popular in their day, they have a faithful fan following even today, two decades after production ceased, with over 500 restored bikes on the road. The picture shows the members of the 'Jawa and Yezdi Club of Hyderabad.
The owners, who have formed a bikers' club, celebrate this day by taking out a rally on the main streets of their respective cities.
