The pink is in size Large and the petroleum is size Small. Price 25 Euro/35 USD + freight charges.

Happy sikh

A friend of us took Leya to buy her some chocolate.
He is the happiest sikh we know. Always a big smile on his face!

Hanuman temple

The other day we visited this big, cool Hanuman temple.
The tempel is in different levels and has many rooms. Very exciting!
This is the entrance. You walk through Hanuman's mouth that is located between his legs.
In the dark cellar you find Kali, not the most kind and cute of all Hindu goddesses.

The day after the wedding

The day we left for Delhi we visited the newly wed couple's home and the bride was smiling again.
She is sitting with the beautiful dress she was going to wear at that evenings reception.
We got a nice snack meal in their new bed.
Nicholas draw a picture of the happy couple.
We passed the brides childhood home before we left for the train.
On the train we met this nice couple going to their daughter's home in Delhi.
They had an antique harmonic to the grandson with them.

Rat and Sita

When I went in to the bathroom a few hours ago I met a big rat. Not very nice!

Early in the morning I went out to buy water and then two street dogs started to bark at me.
Since they can be dangerous I got a bit scared, but this angel dog came to my rescue.
She stood between us so the huligans had to give up.I've named her Sita after a dog from my childhood and a hindu goddess that lived a though life.

Henna and wedding

The evening before the wedding they painted beautiful henna on our hands.
On the wedding day they had a cermony when the bride received a lot of garments and presents.
The groom arrived at 1 am, three ours delayed and they had a cermony for him. Then they ate dinner, but we went back to the hotel.
The bride and groom united in the morning for the transport to their new home.

Ganges and handloom

Since childhood I've wanted to go to the river Ganges to dip my feet. In Bhagalpur I got my chance and it was a magic moment for me.
We visited a handloom and Leya tryed. Not very easy!
These men are bleaching the yarn in a very special, syncroniced movement.
The silk sare yarn was the reason why we came to Bhagalpur in the first place and I got to try to make some, but that was just too difficult. Now I appriciate the yarn even more.

Bhagalpur

Yesterday we arrived to Bhagalpur where our supplier of old sari yarn lives with his family.
We are also invited to attend to his sisters wedding on sunday.
Today the women had the cermony Haldi when they smear visuable parts of the brides body with the paste from the yellow root haldi.
She is wearing the yellow sari for four days and takes it of on sunday.
