Apologies for not posting for a little while. We’ve been on holiday and deliberately disconnected. Before we deluge you with all the posts from our trips to Kerala & Goa (and more to come), a few photos from a local wedding we were invited to.

Although our apartment car-park was the scene of dancing, cooking and feasting for almost 48 hours beforehand, the day itself begins with a loud dancing procession through the streets, with rolling sound-system on the back of a truck, and trumpeters and drummers doing their best to deafen the revelers.

The hoard reaches the wedding hall early in the afternoon, and, with women and men on each side of the hall, the ceremony begins, to much throwing of rice.

Most importantly, for Jex at least, the afternoon finishes with a banquet of sweets and bread. Heaven.

All the photos from the day are here. Now crank up your heating to 40 degrees and imagine you’re there in person!
