The Temple
After the fort, we all made our way down to the temple, while we were there we taught the concept of the three Hindu gods Brahma: The creator, Vishnu: the preserver and Shiva: the destroyer (each of these gods were also a representation of the three stages of our lives
While we were there we were each given a yellow dots on our foreheads from the father of the temple
The Stairwell
The Block printing museum
Our next stop was the block printing museum while we were there we looked around and saw all the tools and textiles and we were given demonstrations on how the blocks are carved and how there printed onto the fabric.
