Baramati

This past weekend, our group journeyed on a village 'trek' to Baramati, a town 2 hours east of Pune. While there, we got a slice of agro-business life in India, and saw many different types of factories including a silk processing factory, dairy farm, and a sugar cane farm among others. Here are some pictures from the trip:

At the silk processing factory; silk is made from silk worm cocoons. Each one of those cocoons has a hibernating worm inside :o
