	Some finished product	The showroom!	We stopped on the road to see the baskets being made by these very poor people. Utpal said these are the poorest class of people in India. As we approached, they all gathered and, of course, asked for money. We love this picture!
	We see many tractors and carts with huge loads like this one.	A billboard (one of the only we've seen) for RK Marble, the company we visited today. They're the world's largest producer of marble!	These raw blocks of marble have arrived from the mines and are waiting for processing.
	This block is being cut into a rectangle. It takes 2 hours for a single cut to be made through the entire depth of the block. Water (visible in this picture) is sprayed on the blade to keep it cool.	A block being hoisted for processing	Sold product.
