the village lifestyle is very simple. there is no electricity and drinking water is collected from several hand pumps and wells. the village life revolves around farming and tending to livestock which is the main form of occupation. majority of the population own farm lands and animals (buffalos and cows) which they use only to collect milk. the day begins before the sun rises by feeding the animals. once the sun has risen the people travel to their farms and continue their daily routine which depends on the season. the main crops that they grow on their farms include wheat (gēhūm̐), mustard (sarasōṁ), barley (jau), millet (baajara), sesame (til) and some lentils (daal). by midday the heat of the sun in summer prevents further farming as it becomes too hot. the farmers return home to check on their animals, shower and eat lunch. later in the afternoon they return to their farms. as the sun begins to set and there is not much light to be found, both females and males continue to tend to their animals. only the females take care of cooking dinner as well as other meals in the day. after dinner, the evening consists of the villagers coming together in a common space to share their experiences. the youth gather around the older members of the community and hear the traditional folk stories. in order to start their early morning work majority of the population sleep early.
