This is a traditional old house at the back end of the village. It is a special house as Hindu Gods reside in it. It has 3 stories. The first story is through the large wooden doors and this is where the Gods reside. The middle floor is the small area directly above the doors where the family lives and the third story is an area that is reserved for religious festivals and ceremonies. Unfortunately Colin and I can't enter as it is only for Hindus.
Another old house. Traditionally the family lived upstairs and the cattle downstairs. Many families still live like this. The locals here are anything but simple, but they do lead a simple life. Wait til Colin and I build a house and get our coos!!
The hot, natural sulphur springs also flow into the back end of the village. They flow continuously and are used for washing clothes, dishes and people. The water is absolutely boiling!
They are all built with the same idea in mind but all look different.
The paths through this part of the village are narrow and uneven.
Coos tethered up for the night on the ground floor of the house.
