      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’d never heard of it either, but I kinda want to go to one now. I’m not very hipster, but it still sounds fun

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