View of the Ganga River and some boats, which later brought many people over from across the river near sunset.
Also used to bring materials for the expansion project going on.
View of the river... using fun photo editing on upgraded Picassa... :)
Playing in the waters...
On the boat!
Views from the boat looking at the shore.
There were lots of places where families were playing by the water.
Bump!
Temple.. and remains of a castle?
Out on the water...
After lunch, these tables had been set up by the riverside.
There were three tables set up like this...
A river boat going out on the water. Next time I may do this. I guess it is usually crowded but when we saw it leave there weren't that many people aboard.
Oh, did you catch the balloon thing in the water? You can jump in and run around on the Ganga River in your hamster ball/cylinder. Um, awesome?
This picture is from here. I forgot to take a picture when we got down off the oddly shaped structure of the Golghar (silo).
The view from the top of the silo, looking over Patna.
Looking towards the river...
Upgraded Picassa is fun times. I made this from a blurry picture of an auto-rickshaw at night.
Fun fact (in case you didn't already know): The tables set up with the yellow cloth, is for the 'Ganga aarti'. Ganga is a holy river in India (I'm sure you knew that already) - and a prayer is done to this river in the evening.In Banaras/Varanasi - if you visit it's a big and grand event!
