Today was another interesting day and here are some of the things that I personally found interesting:

Rhaki: A rhaki is kind of like a braclet and oday was National Brothers’ Day with some Hindi traditions that go along with that. The sister is supposed to by a rhaki for her brother and tie it onto his hand. Then, the brother is supposed to give the sister a present, and is supposed to protect the sister for the rest of his/her life. Eryn got me a rhaki and I got her a gift today. She got me a rhaki with red and silver beads, gold finish, and a red thread. It is very shiny. I got her a box full of biscuits (cookies) after supper tonight.

Observatory: The king had built four observetories before the on in the Pink City, and all of those had flaws. This one, however, has almost no flaws and is the largest stone observatory on planet earth. There are two large sundials and the largest is the largest on earth.

Cobras: On the walk from the observatory, we passed some snake charmers on the street. There were two of them and each of them had a basket in front of them with a live cobra in it. The touched and patted the cobra and it acted accordingly. They also let people from the crowd come and touch the cobras. I did that, and when I went up, I got a turban and got to hold a cobra. It was actually kind of soft, in a snakelike sort of way.
