Outskirts of Jodhpur

It was on a day trip in an amazing jeep that we visited a local house where we watched a Opium Ceremony. We went to a local rug weaver, a potter, and the village of the "untouchables" which are the lowest caste system in India. It was a fun day and full of interesting thought provoking places.

Opium
All these things are used for the Opium Ceremony which all of the locals in the desert use.

Chi (tea) making
just to the right you can see the clay stove that everything is prepared on

Watching chi (tea) being made
The huts are tiny but very organized and tidy

The Potter
He spins his wheel by hand which is balanced on a single piece of wood underneath.

Last of the hand weavers
This is one of the last men that still hand weaves natural blankets. This tradition is no longer passed on through the family.

Smoking
Tara and the old weaver swapped cigarettes for a mid morning break.

The "untouchables"
This was all they lived in, UNICEF has given them a pump for clean drinking water
