First, we are not near the collapsed bridge.

Chhath celebrations began well before dawn this morning.

Celebration continues into the morning. Drums and amplified music started about 4:30 this morning. Fireworks have been going off sporadically – mostly loud, but some “regular” with colorful bursts.

No excursion today. Sand-bar party this afternoon – we’ll wear the “traditional” clothes we purchased In Murshidabad.
