  1. Folklore - Travelling Folk

    Share Share Post
    Travelling Folk still visit our homes. The same people have been doing so for years. They are very poor and they sell small articles to the people. These travellers are generally welcomed to my home. They never remain at night. They get food from the people sometimes. They accept small alms. They travel on foot and sometimes on horses and carts. Some travel singly, others in families, and others in bands.
