Ranchi

From Patna we traveled to Ranchi, capital of Jharkhand. This state is "famous" for being at the center of the Naxalite-Maoist insurgency. A reason for which trips out of town were not recommended. Ranchi itself is a lively city that surprised us. We enjoyed walking around. The picture below is not very clear, but we met a group of women carrying lamps on their head to bring "enlightenment" to a marriage party.
