Holy Cow, dung patties and mustard

Today we drove from Delhi to Agra.  There were stops on the way, but the most interesting part of the day was the drive.  Saw a lot of agricultural land.  Winter crops in now. Prime crop now is mustard.  Also this area is big for making bricks.  All along the way, and in the cities wee free ranging cows.  No beef served in India. The cow is king.  We saw them everywhere!

In this picture you can see dung patties neatly stacked by the side of the road.  Dung used for heat and cooking. The women make the patties which are dried before storage.  There are small huts scattered on the land for dung patty storage
