Diwali at the Chowk: lamps, music and a thali supper

Dinner on the dunes at Osian
Ninety minutes north, a fire, a cook, and a table set for two on the sand. Priced for two; we will take four.
Block-printing at Salawas
Forty minutes out to the weavers' village. You will cut nothing — the blocks take years to learn — but you will print, and what you print comes back with you.
Dawn in the blue lanes
Out of the gate at 05:45 with Mohan, who was born four lanes away, and back before the city is properly awake. Ends with chai at a stall that has no name.
