Faridpur~Bareilly
20km

1. In the northern region of India, the area is wide and flat.

This region has stable water supply originating from Himalaya mountains.

This area has a very high agricultural productivity.

2. Several rivers flow down from Himalaya mountains. Ganges river is one of them.

This region is the very place where Buddha was born. Buddha had active religious activities here.

3. The irrigation waterways I saw several days ago were developed intensively in this region.

Even though India has high agricultural productivity, the distribution system of grain had a problem.

Since National Food Security Bill was passed in 2013, however, the situation was getting better.

4. At the starting point of today’s pilgrimage.

The flag stuck on the backpack is made of bamboo, which professor Won Ki Seong trimmed and gave me.

I use the long stick as flag & cane. I bought the stick from a young girl at Rajgir.

Griddhakuta where Buddha taught his disciples is close to Rajgir.

She had only one stick. She begged me to buy the wooden stick, and I bought it in a hurry.

I don’t know the name of the tree, but it is light, hard, easy to clench.
