So, this is the middle of town on an early Sunday evening. Maliwada now has a "market", fruits and vegetables. The temple in the background is new in the last 33 years. The well to the left has been there all along. All the people and activity are new. This is a teaming village of 5000 people now. When I came it was a struggling farmtown of about 500. Such a change! Some of the oldies but goodies recognized me. I was there for only 2 hours, but will return Saturday for 2 days, staying in the village, probably at the goldsmith's house. My blacksmith friend has no indoor facilities, except electricity.

Maliwada Reprise
