her parents mr and mrs ormie carter describing a tour which she is taking with karen kor- zacfl of glen williams and some english girl friends we visited bodh goyha and saraath which are sacred ta buddhists at bodh goyha gautama buddha first received enlightenment the tree under which he contemplated is still there and thousands of pilgrims come to pray we saw a lot of tibetan monks and some other monks from the various mon- asteries situated there at the tibetan monastery there is a huge prayer wheel about 15 feet high filled with thousands of prayers and weighing hun dreds of pounds pilgrims slow ly turn it offering all those prayers as they do it at sar- nath buddha preached his first sermon and again there are several monasteries as well as the main stupa and a hindi temple inside all the stupas are huge gilt images of buddha and hundreds of burning scen ted lamps we drove as far as allahad after sarnath and stayed i there ove getting up vcryj early to go down to the gang- cs to see all the pilgrims bath- ing this was magh mela one of the times when hindus should go to the river to be cleansed of sins it was a fan tastic sight to see so many thou sands gathered each person of his own accord for one purpose it was very cold in the early morning to be immersing otic- self in that water this is their winter season and so it must have been even colder for them than it was for us we were a bit disgusted by all the beg gars as so many of them should have sought help from the hos pitals such horrible diseases some of them had rather than capitaize on their misery for the sake of alms rita and su were glad to see as again when we finally got back to delhi the baby had grown a lot in the time we were gone seemed to have a lot morcpcrsonli4y and was more fun to play with wc wan ted to stay in delhi until the republic day parade so filled our time with visiting art gal leries reading some of sus good books and watching the proc- eedings for republic day wc sow most of the indian army i think one afternoon after com ing from the national gallery they were rehearsing for the parade and we them and waved to them all as they were leaving the parade ground su took us to the indian spring festival the day which marks the beginning of milder winter many women wear yellow that day while rita served yellow rice for breakfast the festival was fairly commercial much like a fall fair but it was nice to see all the children with yellow scarves or bows on their heads we especially enjoyed seeing a ferris wheel turned by two boys who swung from the inner bars and propelled a by the movements friday night wen to the cel lar a kind of discotheque where loud music is played and coffee is far too expensive k was good fun though and for the first time in ages a fri day night really seemed like a friday night all the days run together and because of the mixture of religions holidays and weekends are all mixed up on saturday we went to the zoo with rita and su for a picnic we sat near a pond ab solutely covered with thousands of water birds ducks geese swans egrets and on the trees and on the shore were kingfish ers and pelicans and lots i did not know our passes for the parade pro ved to be a bit of a farce we had a piece of tarpaulin to sit on and were contantly invaded by indians and europeans try ing to get closer to the street still we had quite a good view were only a few yards from the action mostly military but some good things like a camel regiment and a herd of brightly adorned elephants the floats were good too each state was represented by some thing characteristic of the reg ion such as dances or indus tries we were amazed again by the variety of costumes and fa ccs some had feather head dresses and short dresses oth crs wore turbans and long flow ing garments still others had flouncy skirts with many petti coats at the end of the parade there was a flypast and then hundreds of red and green bal loons were released to signal the conclusion of the program there were over two million people assembled but they lis persed very quickly with no trouble that we could sec i think thoy must be accustomed to crowds out there because at home it would be a mess j several others would dance with appropriate actions it was ve ry lively a different view of the women who look so slry and demure in public the height of the show was a tibet an buddhist dance the monkjt blew horns that were six feet long asd a great huge shambly animal cavorting around the stage charging at little boys and bystanders however the pow er of the monks and the villag ers overcame the evil spirit and all ended happily in a clash of cymbals the indian people arc very proud of their independence and thus make quite a fuss over republic day all the major public buildings parliament and the secretariat india gate and a lot of the big hotels were covered in lights and floodlit for about a week beforehand and so many of the people we talked to urged us to stay for the parade when the tanks and aircraft and other military showpieces passed by the crowd cheered and people would turn to us and say that was made in india so you can see the sort of sptrit they have continued next week did you know about 23 the sawn lumber and 910 the newsprint made in canada are sold to other countries h0mps0n hardware main straat downtown hardware is our businessi not sldjdun batter everyday value and quallryl customer parking lot rear entrance monday night we went toj folk danco festival at the sta dium mostly they were tribal dances a primitive drum beat and lots of warhoons and no real choreography only a shuf fling or hopping to the rhythm clothe music we felt that the dances would have been more impressive if we had seen thim in the village setting on tiiat huge stage in the middle ofthc stadium so much of the maie was lost two dances were very good though one was a kind of prewedding celebration in which all the ladies come toge ther to tell the bride about mar ried life it was quite humorous because two girls would come forward and sing about such du ties as washing and cooking sweeping floors etc and
