Chapter - 32
Rahim and Vishnu spoke with the teachers and took the permission. As it is night, girls did not get permission and that's what they wanted. The male teacher wasn't feeling good, so he opted to stay at the hotel with girl students, while devika had to take them to the village festival with some hotel guides. Everything was working according to their plan and they even told their plan to Vishnu also. He was happy to join them.
Hotel had arranged a vehicle to take them there, and it
was a 20 minutes drive.
When they reached there, they were welcomed warmly by the tribal group. Everyone was greeted with garlands, and there were lot of men and women in tribal dress celebrating. Chaami was the leader and was the one who is giving orders to everyone.
Chaami is a 65 year old man , with white beard and long hair. He looked very old. He is dark complexioned and looked very ugly.
Men was wearing just a black decorated cloth over their waist. And as expected women was wearing very revealing dress. They are wearing the same decorated cloth over their waste. It is tucked in the waist on the centre leaving a pleat in the centre..Unlike men's , the cloth is coloured white and only reaches 2 inches top of their knees. And on top their breast is coverd with another white cloth. It is worn like a sari pally over the shoulder and a rope is tied at the waist to secure the top cloth. So basically, they are wearing two separate cloth on bottom and top and top cloth is tied with a rope at the waist.
Chaami welcomed everyone and informed them that the celebration is going to begin
Chaami - welcome all to our village. So we are privileged to meet you all in our festival. We are about to begin, but before that it is our custom that, who ever visiting us should be just like us only. What I mean is , we request you to dress like us and join our culture. It is tradition, please join us.
Devika hearing this got scared, how can she wear such a short dress in front of her students.
Devika - sorry chaami, actually we just came to watch your tradition
Chaami - no ma'am , you have join our tradition it is a request.
Devika - actually we are not used with your type of dressing and it will be very uncomfortable for us.
Chaami - you don't have to worry ma'am, here everyone will be safe and it is our duty to send you back safely. And also you don't have to feel shy as you can there are lot women just like you...And here all of us are innocent and do not know the corrupt mind of urban people.
Devika - still
Chaami - you can deny our request, but we will consider that as insult and everyone one will consider that you don't like our tradition
Chaami - why do you have to worry, there is no one from outside world, its just us and the students. And these students are little innocent kids, and you should not have problem with them
Devika after thinking a little, made her mind. She thought what, chaami said was true. She consider them as little innocent kids.
Devika - OK...we will join your celebration.
Devika called all the students, and told them that we have one hour and after that we will return. And also mentioned that , this was not there in the official itinerary. So no one should tell in the college. I'm allowing this, just because you are my dear students. Everyone readily agreed.
Chaami - OK the boys can go to that hut to change their dress, and ma'am you can go with ladies to change to our traditional dress.
Devika walked with other tribal ladies half mindedly.
