Parallel lives

Just to finish up with the Kanha tiger park area before moving on to Agra....
As always, it is amazing how different peoples independently develop strikingly similar dress, music, food, religion, fill-in-the-blank. The last night we were at the lodge one of the local village tribes put on a dance exhibition. You can see that their costumes and head dresses are not that different from what you might see among American Indians. And you can take our word for it that the drum beat, chants and dance were also quite similar even though the two groups are a half of a world away.
