Maha Kassapa Arama (Park) Dedication Ceremony

Ceremony event to dedicate a new park in Silao
to the Buddha's disciple, Maha Kassapa.

Me in my new sari that I put on myself.  Later when I returned to Nalanda,
three young men pointed out that my sari was "not right." 
Praval's mom and aunt then showed me how to wear it properly!

Boys and Girls from the Lord Jesus Residential School
singing a welcome song to Deepak and the District Magistrate (DM)

The monks in the front row recited
 a sutta to begin the ceremony.

Women and girls watching from the nearby rooftop
