Today's the birthday of Krishna. It's something comparable to Christmas, what I've heard. People celebrate it by fasting until midnight and then having a big feast. There's supposed to be dancing and music all over today and tomorrow.
Luckily the volunteers were allowed to have breakfast and lunch at least. I'm hoping there's a little something at eight tonight as well. I'm still going to prepare myself with some snacks from the corner shop just in case.
We cleaned the temple for the evening's festivities just a while ago. It was very much needed. We saw some mice running next to the kitchen door and some other examples of missing hygiene. I'm fully aware that this place is probably cleaner than the average Indian house, but I now have a clear idea where my stomach problems originated.
