East Gopalnagar

Finally, we can post our pictures from the village of Gopalnagar where we stay with our friends Palash and Natasha. Palash was born here. He got married Russian girl and brought her to his home land. Later, they rebuilt their house. Now it looks large and nice.

There is a house of our friends in Gopalnagar.

The view of their house from the neighbor's side. On the very top of the wall, the writing says in Russian and Bengal: Mission "The Light of Christ"

We are lucky, we have a private room on the second floor. Our hosting family has a room on the first floor. Also, they have kitchen and indoor bathroom (shower and toilet bowl - unusually for this area). On the picture above, you can see our "neighbor" on the wall!

The beautiful view from the roof of our building

Many Palash's relatives live at this neighborhood.

October 11th - national celebration and worship to Hindi's goddess of success and prosperity - goddess Lakshmi. This tent was made in front of our entrance. People celebrated all night long! We could see many similar idols across the country.

Also, on our arrival day, people in India celebrated their goddess Durga with 10 arms and 10 areas of responsibilities.

Street celebration = parade!

Below, one more picture of the beauty of Indian village!
