We learned more about
Hindu Temples than we ever
wanted to know in the first
place, but were taken to one
temple In which there lived a
living goddess, to whom they
make sacrifices of goats and
buffalo calves and worship as
a deity. For a contribution of
a few Rupees we were
allowed to see her for a few
minutes.

with n crimson ribbon in her
hair, lots of khol around her
eyes, and other makeup. We
were told that she had been
selected from a certain caste
when she was four vears old.
She was to live in the temple.

worshipped as a goddess until
she reached piiberlv. at which
time she would be returned to
her family and replaced bv

were also told that she was

We next flew buck to Delhi,
feeling really dirty ntt we had
been out about seven days thin
time. We stayed overnight,
look what clean clothes wr
had left and flew off to
Katmandu, the capital of
Nepal
As we left New Delhi and
India for the country of Nepal,
Raj asked me if I would help
him to buy some perfume for
the women in his family, as he
wasn't allowed to buy in the
Duty Free shop with his
Indian passport. So. with my
passsirt and his money we
bought some very nice co
logne. He told me he wanted
to take It to his sister'B
wedding which was to take
place in about two weeks He
also confided that his familv
still believed In arranged
marriages, and that his sister
had never seen the man she
was to marry. It had been
arranged by the families. His
older brother, also very highly
educated and a high officer in
the Indian Army, had seen his
wife for five minutes before
their marriage. I then asked
Raj. who is well traveled and
quite a cosmopolite, if he
could do this. He said his
familv would probably find a
girl who would share his
interests and his travels. I
then asked him what would
happen if lie married someone
he chose, and he said. "I could,
but It would create great
social problems within my
family and probably would not
Ik accepted for some time."
The hotel in Katmandu was
the most luxurious we had
seen. This was where Frank
caught the head cold which (be
rest of us had already been

goats, buffalo calves, and all
disgustingly filthy. But we
were always able to lift our
eyes to view the beautiful
Hilalayas just atxwo us.
The valley in which
Katmandu is situated is just
Ix'low the foothills of the
Himalayas and is a very
Ix'imliful. lush valley in which
wheat, barley, and various
other grains, including a great
deal of rice are grown. F.ach
hill is terraced clear to the top
so that every inch is used. The
people here are still living
much as they must have 2. owl
years ago. They plow with
water buffalo that pull a
wiHxien stick, and break up
the clods with buffalo that pull
a horizontal wooden bar. They
still winnow grain by throwing
It in the air and catching it in
flat wicker baskets. This work
seems to be done mostly by
the women.
