Most people don't know that the swastika is a Hindu motif that dates back many thousands of years. Unfortunately, in the west it has come to be associated with Hitler and the Nazis - an image completely opposite to it's intended and original one. Also, interestingly, the swastikas on this wall had been fashioned from cow dung.

Not so! There are healthy and (by our standards) unusual splashes of colour all over the place.

Being a city person myself, I found myself almost envying this young boy's ability to play in the grass, get upto healthy mischief, and lie under a warm sun without a care in the world.
