Kedar's Fans

It has been a long 9 days but so worth every minute.  Yesterday we walked along the Ganges to view the cremation ghats.  As we were there, one man came up and explained everything.  In order to understand everything that is going on around you, you have to have an open mind.  The best part of my day was a ceremony that is in honor of the gods along the river.  We all got on a boat and watched from the river.  This ceremony takes place everyday at 7:30 in the evening.  The amount of people who attend this is unreal.  Its like trying to guess how many jellybeans are in a jar, impossible.  While we were on the boat several young boys jump from boat to boat trying to sell you different little items.  Kedar was our favorite and attracted all the girls.  He was ten years old, so cute and full of energy.  We took many pictures with him along with the bindi’s that he gave each of us.  After the ceremony, we took the long boat ride back to Sahi Riverhouse.  It was a very peaceful ride and much cooler than the daytime.
