| Roasting sugarcane on the bonfire |
Shivaratri is the Hindu celebration of the god Shiva's birthday. We happened to be in the town of Hile for the night and were invited to hang out with the locals for the night. We started out the night trying out the local Raksi wine, a strong fermented rice wine, then we roasted and "banged" sugar cane on the fire-- firework-like explosions echoing through the valley-- and had a merry time.
