We stopped at one house to view a ceremony. Opium, still commonly used in the region, is seen as a way to relax, particularly during the monsoon season. It is also used to welcome people. This opium is grown in Chittor, located in the southern part of Rajasthan. The opium pieces were crushed, after which water was added. The opium liquid was then filtered twice through a funnel-shaped cloth. The first drops are offered to the gods.
