Dusherra part 2 - A journey through time back to Aurangabad

On our way back from Ajanta Caves to the hotel in Aurangabad, Maharashtra, it felt like we were travelling a 100 years ago ...

 We saw so many travelling with a strong pair of oxen or horses pulling a very simple cart.

Because of the many holidays just around this time (Dusherra), some had painted the horns of the oxen either in the colours of the state (Maharashtra), which coincidentally are the same as the Indian flag, or some other colour combination.

 Yeah, well, the pictures are not the best ... they would not stand still!

 A proud and happy grandmother

Our faithful guide suddenly stopped the car and invited us to step out and inspect a little closer what was growing in the fields. Can you guess?

No? A little closer then ...

Still not? Maybe not. Ian dug down and eventually found ... ginger.

How about this then?

 Look at this beautiful flower!

And then these flowers turn into ...

... cotton. It really felt like cotton as well!

Good night from a fabulous India
