        What was the smell like? A mixture of BO and incense or something else?

          like a sweet cigar

          oh, you mean the festival?

          It was outdoors, so just the smell of gum trees and heat

          the food avenues would always smell of delicious Indian street food

          Pit toilets are pit toilets. You cope. Otherwise it mostly smells like dust and campfire.

          I’m not even remotely hipster and had fun there. Be prepared for plenty of crunchy type persons though, many of them naked.
