    A mother in typical Assamese attire (including accessories like the umbrella and the bag) takes her daughter shopping for the big festival - the Durga Puja, where the Mother Goddess is worshipped in public places for 10 days, before being immersed in the river. Note the almost-ready idols in the background. Views[700] In Nagaon, a big town near the capital, Guwahati, one sees all kinds of races from across the North East, and across the border, too. This rickshaw-puller is from Bangladesh, and his kind (illegal immigrants) are not too welcome here. Somehow, they manage to make a living, despite the hostility. Views[1064] Tea-pluckers make their way home after a long day, in time to cook for the family. Views[423] The meji, or pile of wood, is to be burned early in the morning, in mid-January. This is to mark the end of the winter harvest. My brother here never misses it. Views[728] Elephant safari in Kaziranga, Assam. This man is obviously a big shot, since he gets his own small elephant, and a bodyguard hanging on for dear life. Views[812]
