Faces of India Feb 2007









Rest stop along the road to somewhere (name I can't remember now) we encountered a group of people on a religioius pilgramage. They were treking over 300 Km.






At the rest stop was a public well which is common in most rural areas of India. Here is group of travellers washing their clothes.



At the reststop we had a great cup of tea. I believe they call it chi, with milk and sugar.


As I mentioned earlier, driving in India is challenging. Most roads are only two-way and clogged with commercial vehicles. Passing is always dangerous. We passed this accident scene along the way. Appeared to be a coal truck.

East of Mumbai the landscape is much like our Southwest.
These people were visiting a large Muslim religious festival in Mumbai. Thousands of people, Muslim and Hindu participated.
