Small tent city from above

But we very deliberately tried to include everybody, make opportunities for growth and benefits on different levels for the community. They could profit from the spiritual meaning and the social aspects. The Kalachakra is such a colorful spectacle, mainly a religious but also a cultural event and a carnival, that brought the world into this sleepy dusty town. People have been extremely hospitable and welcoming.

It would be very interesting to visit this place in a year and see what remains of this impact. Already there is a lot of physical change to be seen: next to infrastructures we set up, there are new banking facilities, Internet facilities and phone booths instigated by local companies just to name a few.
