The men of the village entertained us that night. There were ten of them. Some played the local musical instruments, goat skin drum (noubat), big drum (negara), and brass bells (namira). Some sang and danced. We sat in a circle around a fire in the middle.
Vehicles which were creatively jerry-rigged from parts of old cars (juvars) served as a means of transportation.
One man began chanting a song and then all others joined as a chorus, the musicians with their musical instruments. Soon two men started a dance.
The villagers of Abha Nagari exercised their entrepreneurship by leasing some of their land to a group of five young men who established a camp there for visitors like us. Furthermore, the villagers put on quite a show for us. We were welcomed to the camp by a reception line of several men, women, and children.
