Rural India, a place where people don’t have many means of entertainment. There are no game parks, no movie theaters, no television or other venues. Basic entertainment avenues may be either some games, a swim in the river etc. That too doesn’t include women. For them its just chatting with their mates.
But here comes festive occasions, when with prayers and worshiping there is also the “Great Indian Entertainment Show”.

These places offer all kinds of stuff which we will see in the further pictures.
