Our first day of riding was 80 miles, yet when we arrived in Faridkot we were energized by catching this festival down at the river. We didn’t meet anyone who was able to explain to us exactly what we were witnessing, but special food offerings were being blessed at the water’s edge.
As we were trying to leave, it took us about an extra half-hour to get back on the road because so many people wanted us to pose with them in pictures.
