Delhi Belly!
Delhi Belly!!
Oh dear it has happened so soon. Four of us got Delhi Belly and we have been so careful. Several more were starting the grumbles this evening. I suspect it was from the dinner in Old Delhi last night but at least I was able to make the day whereas the others took a taxi home.
It was worth it as I listened to a panel of 5 religious leaders who described Judaism, Hinduism, Catholicism, Sikhism, and B’hai and how they are practiced in India. It was interesting that while the ladies of our group asked “to the point” questions that certain members of our panel where not used to such assertive young ladies.
Finally, we got to watch some Indian classical dancers and musicians, the renowned Odissi dancers.
An interesting fact is that these young ladies centuries ago would never marry as they were married to Vishnu. However, they could have babies if they adopted them. Now that is not the case in contemporary India and you may even see young boys playing the part of these maidens although their form is more aggressive and jerky.
I will leave you with some photos. Enjoy.
