The big event for the day is living in a palace. Our palace was built in the 1700s by the local Maharaji. The palace has been converted to a hotel. We were given a primo room with tons of space and a bathtub and two balconies.
Looking out at the balcony.

We did a short village walk. Alipura is a village of 14,000 and full of people and animals.

Offering on the stoop of a house on brother and sisters day. The offering is made from dung and there is always a head on top. The sister removes the head which is symbolic for destroying the brother’s enemies.
Cow dung is also mixed with straw and dried for cooking fuel. Here Chime is sniffing the brick to show that it has lost its smell.
