Drums and Dancing

Inside of Outside

Here are some pictures from a fort we visited in Jodhpur. Very cool architecture, a lazy squirrel, a door with metal spikes, and . . . a dancing man? Through out the fort there were museum staff dressed in traditional dress and playing traditional stringed instruments and drums. On our way out, I stopped and asked two guys playing drums if I could play one of the drums. They agreed and I started to play. Thirty seconds later though, the group in the picture walked up and the guy took his drum back to play for them. But the fact that playing the drum was a possibility, that they weren't just look and don't touch drums, seemed to inspire the man and he broke into dance, joined by several others, until he too, asked for a chance to play the drums.
