Sunday Apr. 7, 2019

2:00 pm – 4:00 pm

India is one of the most fascinating countries in the world with a long, rich history and a seething mass of humanity. Join Hans as he rambles through central India, agog at what he sees: Deli and its incredible smog and traffic; Varanasi and its cremation sites, the Ganges and pilgrims; Kahjuraho and its temples, many with erotic carvings, Agra and the world famous Taj Mahal; Jaipur and its elephants and enormous fort/palace; Jaipur and its camels; and Udaipur, the beautiful cinema capital of the country. Hans describes his trip as “falling down Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit hole”.

Seating is limited, come early! Free admission. Refreshments by donation.
