Street Music

 

India_3.10 100.jpg

At last I've seen my first street musicians in India! This very merry group was playing quite a few instruments I didn't recognize, and charming snakes to boot! I was so distracted by their bright colors that I almost didn't see the snakes at first! You don't see a lot of street musicians here, perhaps because of the state of the streets, but hearing music live is definitely one of the things I'm missing here in India.

Mona organized a tour guide to show us the major sights of the city. He had a tendency to keep reminding me of the hierarchical importance of each place as we toured, grabbing his fingers sequentially: "Amber Fort - number One; City Palace - number Two; Jantar Mantar. Observatory - number Three best." We packed a lot into the morning, but I was so glad to have seen it all.
