Cow patties dried & stacked
Parks in Rajasthan picture - & used for cooking fires. The women collect the dung in big metal basins that they carry on their heads, bring it home, make patties by mixing dung with straw, lay them out to dry, then stack them. Men are rarely seen working in the yard or fetching firewood in the surrounding countryside. They are all in town at the coffee shop, sitting outside in gaggles on charpoys & gossiping ;o) They don't do menial work, only skilled work, whatever that means (rolling eyes) LOL
