So Saree

The schedule here has been quite demanding and the weather hot and sticky. However we had a reprieve late yesterday afternoon and evening with lots of thunder, lightening and rain. Fortunately the rain didn’t interfere with our activities.

It is beautiful here!

Here are some photos of the campus grounds. More of these to come.

Preparation for pitru paksha ceremony

The biggest highlight of this leg of the trip was the pitru paksha ritual, which is done every year on the last day of pitru paksha.

We were required to bring and wear sarees (pronounces “sorry”) to the More about the ritual and sarees in an upcoming blog post.
