THE GURGAON RIDGE FARMERS WEDDING PROCESSION
Per coincedence I came to this procession. The small video just reflects a brief part of the action (had battery problems too). It came all so by surprise but sure was a colorfull expierence for me and a great day for the people of the village.
I had too leave at a cetain moment, the travetites started to get with there hands to my private parts and even a kick by the leg did not prevent from continuing

A JOURNEY IN DEHRADUN
Dehradun is for sure not the nicest city in India,what is attractive are the closenes to the feet of the Himalayas and exiting cities as Mussourie and Rishikesh. Despite that I spend a very nice afternoon walking and looking to all the exotic and attractive views. In the following just a few impressions.

MINIATURE PAINTING AT SURAJ KUND
Being in Jaipur as a tourist made me already aware about the enormeous efford to paint as was done siecles ago, using one single air of squirrel tail! On the event I find also one stall with a very nice gentleman, behaving like sales person, but also having is own miniature paintings with him. Prices start at 300 euros but it is worthwile.... this art will die now within our generation. So go and get it.
The pictures I made are not always focused, I had to make it under difficult conditions, more or less hidden.

Impressions of Suraj Kund Crafts Mela
This was a super Saturday, altought the wetter is quite cool , for an European very inviting to make a trip to remain warm and I was realy not expecting the variety and quality of the objects on display. I really can recommend a visit ... I came in with 6000 rps cash and went out with 100, but I think I was able to get some valuable objects of folkloric art at reasonable prices
Later I will make pictures of my purchases.
