India: A Typical Saora Castor Bean Village, Orissa

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com
There is no such thing as "same-o-same-o" when you visit India. This Saora village concentrates on growing Castor Beans used as a laxative, purgative, and cathartic. I dimly remember Castor Oil from my childhood. Traditional Ayurvedic medicine considers castor oil the big cure for arthritic diseases.

And isn't it amazing how children who have nothing manage to amuse themselves and have a wonderful time by creating games with pieces of bamboo and small stones?
