Visiting another mela in the Hallan valley with Edward and Lucy but not feeling so welcome there, the influence of the devta on local culture and attitudes in the Kullu-Manali valley, walks through the forest behind Shanti Bhawan; to the waterfall, the Hermetic theorem – “As above, so below”, a sense of the multi-dimensional layers of existence; to the abandoned village of Challan, trekking through thick snow to get there with the cat, getting infected by the ‘devta’.
