After this ceremony the students were sent to their classes. They sat on the floor of small rooms and recited from texts for their teachers.
A man in shorts was washing himself outside his house. The women of the house covered their heads from us.
A man was sitting on the porch and shaving. A boy in a uniform of pants and shirt was walking to school.
His purposefulness contrasted with the looks on three girls who seemed in no hurry. They were wrapped in a traditional garb against the morning cold.
We saw observation cameras installed on the trees in the park to keep track of the tigers and other animals.
A separate plain wall in aquamarine supplied a bright color. In front of it, a woman in a multicolor dress of saffron, purple, and green greeted us with her toothy smile.
The walls of the ticket kiosk at the entrance to the Ranthambhore National Park displayed fresco paintings by some local villagers. In white on a salmon background, they depicted what this land meant to them: birds, deer, tiger, crocodile, and plants.
I went to have the villagers’ breakfast of unleavened flatbread (roti) made from millet flour, being prepared on a hot iron plate which was on a wood fire set on the floor.
At dawn the next morning, I was awakened by the same kind of music, this time coming from loud speakers of a radio.
In another central Indian village, Alipur, we had heard another devotional song about the absence of an avatar of Vishnu, Krishna.
