Jan 4, Sunday - Hindu Wedding
There was just a loud band (mostly drummers) out on the street. Because of the trees in front of the hotel, I could not see what type of celebration it was. I went down to the front desk and was told it was most likely a Hindu wedding. The groom arrives on horseback and the wedding guests join in the procession. The hotel duty manager suggested that I go outside to try to see it and I asked "wouldn't that be gawking?". He replied that it would be "more like witnessing". :) I went outside the hotel gates to try to see it but it had already passed. If I'm fortunate enough to hear a celebration in the street like this again, I'll go right out to witness it!
