Days of Pushkar




So this is just a taste of Pushkar. The first photo is the sunrise from the vantage point of our balcony. The next one is a Unicorn and the third is a one of the Ghats that surround the lake. Shortly after I snapped this picture we crossed over a bridge and were signaled over by some Babas under a Bodhi tree for a sit. The days blend together but saw for the first time snake charmers and an ALL DAY festival for the full moon. The celebrations adn parades wind their way through the streets causing chaos and excitement. everyone is involved in the action. The parades and music run deep into the night and this is a way of life. In the states we'd have traffic cops, guard rails, security for the floats and you know abotu a thousand phone calls to the police thrity seconds after dark because of the ruckus. These people have more of a communtiy than any I've ever seen.
