A shikara: rather like a gondola, only without the opera
Houseboats all seem to have funny names, all in English, many creatively spelled
Aloha...
The front porch of Houseboat Denver
Fishing for very small but very plentiful fish
Among the lotuses: people eat the nuts and roots and feed the leaves to cattle
The floating gardens, which seemed hugely productive -- all kinds of vegetables and flowers grew there -- and a couple of gardeners
One of the many kingfishers -- and many, many birds -- on the lake
No need to leave the lake to do your shopping for souvenirs -- just pull your shikara up to the steps here and take a look... no need to buy, just take a look...

It looks so fantastical! Sorry about the dilapidated houseboat. I guess farflung travel is always a crapshoot...
