Chanderi

Chanderi is a Muslim and Jain town.  Jains believe that all life must be respected, and some will go so far as to wear masks over their faces to prevent swallowing a bug, or will sweep the ground in front of them wherever they walk, just so they don't step on an insect.  Chanderi is another town that is somewhat off the beaten track, so the people were particularly interesting to meet and photograph.
