Gaijatra

This was during the festival of Gaijatra, in which young boys dress up like ascetics and parade through the palace square, often in honor of a deceased relative. Bystanders then give the young'ns treats, like candy and packaged cookies, as well as giving them drinks of milk, water or orange drink (Slice?) from periodically placed pitchers and coolers. It is vaguely reminiscent of Halloween in the U.S., and some of the participants had really good costumes!
