Hodka- Rammu`s village

Camels on the way to the village

Herd of water buffalo

My friend Ramu and his wife and children

Ramu`s compound

Ramu`s father and mother

Me with the twin girls who are showing off their embroidery that I bought

Some of the goods offered for sale

Ramu`s father

Charcoal pit

Our compound at Shaam e sharad

Mud work on wall

Ramu`s brother modeling my shawl as a turban

Ramu`s mother demonstrating on our sample- check out the size of the`sample

Òne of Ramu`s ralli quilts

Applique quilt

Concentrate Judy!

Preparation for mud work- dried cow dung is mixed with clay

Then rolled into a shape and stuck to the wall

Sometimes it takes getting more pressure and `convincing`to stay

Not easy as it looks

Ramu`s brother nad his wife both milk the water buffalo- 16 litres a day!
