We spent the night in Dharamsala and the next morning we all piled in the cars and headed down the mountain to take part in the Dham in Bhadwar. The ancestors of the Mahajan family belong to a small village called Tika Nagrota which is 3 km from Bhadwar, they still have a home there and that is where we all met in the courtyard. There was a fire ceremony with Sapna and Ethan's family which we all took part in. After that we were served a very interesting meal. We all sat cross legged on strips of cloth and a banana leaf was put before us and rice and lots of different sauces were placed on the leaf we had alot of fun eating with our fingers, trying not to make a huge mess! After we finished the village people all filed in to share the meal. The day concluded with a walk through the mango orchards.
