July 29th was spent on a little boating trip on the Ganges river. It is getting a bit toasty in India, at times I wonder if I'll burst into flames. The people of this area cool down in the river, which looks inviting.
We visited Belur Math (which has nothing to do with mathematics), is a place that people from all religions of the world come to pray. I'm a bit saturated with information at this point in the journey, so I will have to look up the facts and significance of this location later.
Next we went to Kumartuli, a center for giant clay idol makers. They were working on making clay idols for the Durga Puja festival, which is coming up in September.
