The Great Banyan Tree

This Banyan tree you see below is approximately 500 yrs old or more it is said by locals that this tree has witnessed many battles since the time of King Sher Shah Suri.

I wonder if this is the branch of the main tree how would have the main tree looked like originally. 




Below is the picture of hand made coal by villagers. This is made up of coal dust and pure mud paste taken from the depth of the ponds in the village. This is the fuel for cooking food.

This dog is unbelievable. He was quite calm but as soon as he saw the camera this is how he started acting and gave me poses for good 10 minutes. Born actor I believe.
