Nandgaon is really a small village on a hill with the temple in the center and right at the top……winding alleys leading up up…..(only about 9000 people live here)

many stairs leading up up up to the temple through the village..

on the way up….

in white before the lath mar celebration started

not everyone was involved in the festivities…or maybe he was just resting so he could be part of it?

the big doors leading into the temple where really beautiful

this is one way to make potato chips….you put them out in the sun for a while….I guess one condition is that you live in a country where outside means oven temperatures !

this was one of those villages that I wouldn’t mind coming back to under calmer circumstances…meaning not during holi.

just below the hill I found this ghat….

nice to see and hear some kids having fun…..I will be back next year…then I will be in the midst of the celebrations for sure.
