The Silk Cupboard

Our last day templing- and it is pouring. The land is so dry, the last monsoon failed, but this rain is at the wrong time as the rice is ripe and ready for harvesting, if it is picked when damp it will get mildew and rot.
We went to a UNESCO world heritage temple today and then on to a small, local elephant temple where we were individually blessed. I stood in front of the elephant and he lifted up his trunk and tapped me gently on the head (it was not entirely without terror on my behalf).
After a delicious Dosa for lunch (74p) we visited a silk weaving home and the photo today is the cupboard full of silk saris and scarves, the colours are a total joy.
