Varanasi Airport

| There are very few super markets in India - except in the most major cities. Most are the small stalls you have seen in many pictures. When people are poor, animals suffer. These chickens are "alive". Because there is no refrigeration in the stores, chickens have to be kept "alive" if you can call this so. Sheep and goats are killed in special places and the meat sliced immediately and sold. |

| This is the set up for a wedding at our hotel |
 |
| It was a night wedding - people have not arrived yet |
 |
| The "common people" celebrated too |
 |
| This is the groom seated. The bride will arrive eventually. Her face is veiled and they have not met. The parents arranged the wedding. Her face is uncovered only after the wedding (which takes 5 hours I am told) is completed. She then moves to his family house which is a sad and emotional moment. |
