Pictures start here...61 more to come!

As I sat down with my cold instant Bru© (a mixture of coffee grounds and chickory—not the tastiest!) and started looking through pictures from the Aurangabad trip, I realized that I neglected to show y’all (thank you, Andi) pictures from the temple festival eons ago!

So. Many apologies and here you go:

The festival left little to be desired…it even had its own man-powered carnival rides!

Building the effigy they would later burn at the end of the fireworks display—donning a lovely green and orange salwar kameez. (Later on, they spent about an hour pinning the neon green scarf on just right.)

Little boys love having their picture taken…this is my favorite from the photo shoot.
