"Making space for the sacred in Hindu India". A course run by Dr. Crispin Branfoot at OUCS. Very good. One day I'll go back to India, but for now I'll make do with photos and poems.

"At dawn they brought him golden flowers from the River in the sky.
At sunrise they perfumed him with smoking incense.
At mid-morning they covered him with cool camphor paste mixed with saffron.
For lunch they served him sweet rice with milk pudding, cakes, curd and fruit.
At sunset they pleased him with drums, conches, cymbols,
And at midnight, with the soft tones of the lute."
Srinatha. Late 14th century.
