I arrive at the house of Gulnara, a lovely lady from village of
Mamony,
she and her husband were kind
enough to have me over and let me experience Bania
There house completely made
of wood, and is handmade, work in progress for eight years and a few rooms is
still to be put togather, kitchen and living space on ground floor and bedrooms
on top floor, How amazing is it to make ones house, Evgeny's( husband of Gulnara) talent just amazing to craft it by oneself,, How I would love to be skilled enough to do such a project someday. Anyway I digress, The Bania is a separate chamber a room rather Two rooms
that’s a separate structure, wonderfully
made the logs are sealed with Jute( yes the same just that I grow one crop of
back in India ) with a steam room , and a cold room, and a room to prepare
oneself before the bania.
In the ante room, getting ready me and Evgeny
So here I am outside the cold-room,
and ready to step in and have a cold shower, n then head inside the camber 75
Degrees, and boy was it hot, after a few minutes, maybe 3 – 4, we made a exit
and had a cold shower, I had my back beaten by the birch bush
and it felt good,
I was ready for round two,
Ready for Bania
once inside on round two, I could be there only a
minute and a half, before it got too hot for me, and I made a exit, it was
amazing and post the cold shower, I was in a
Warm state, Loved it, the
skin texture felt very different for sure, and was a warm feeling, not having experienced one before, the skin sure felt more rough and maybe more porous.
