A tour of the inside of a traditional Tamil house and dinner

 Icame back from the orphanage and Anita said that we were going across the road to her mothers house for dinner. Her mother and father are away at their village but Anita's sister and 2 children were there.

The prayer room that had lots of offerings in it.

The grandparents long gone but the lights are on all the time as a sign of respect.

Not the best photo but this is a sort of hall with the prayer room off to the right . It is just an open floor and people sleep here or

On the sitting room floor which has been recently modernised , also doubles as a bedroom everyone sleeps communally.

A store room 

Dinng room that used to be the garage

Kitchen area

And the pantry

Sorry this didn't come out but it is the grinding stone just like the last blog 

And this is pretty dark as well but the whole place was dark, it's the equivelant of our wood burning stove idea.

Dinner , no utensils used only the right hand which believe me is tricky when trying to scoop !

And lastly eating dinner which was tasty.
