Festival

The local hindus celebrate the victory of truth over evil every 6 months. It is a 2 week celebration during which time they believe that their deceased ancestors are near. We attended some of the festivities with friends recently. It gave us the opportunity to pray for them, that they would come to know the ultimate victory of truth over evil.

This is an example of one of the offerings that the women make to offer to the gods
