Galis
the narrow winding lanes of old Indian cities, particularly Varanasi, where the streets are barely wide enough for two people to pass. The galis of Varanasi are famous for their maze-like character and their feeling of stepping backward in time.
If your child asks about Galis, tell them: "It is a word you might hear in Indian stories." Then ask them — "Where do you think you'd see Galis in real life?" It opens a small conversation about Indian culture.
