    So many wonderful temples in this part of the world. Too bad most of them don’t allow photography inside.

  4. I agree with Anil – so sad that they don’t allow photos of the inside….I do understand why, but it’s a shame that so many people will never see what is undoubtedly as beautiful an interior as the exterior. Nice photos, Dave!

      I wish they allowed photos, so many people sneak them using their cell phones anyway that they might as well:-)

    Nice picts! I love the one of the slightly hazy Taj Mahal.

    I know the weather didn’t cooperate for you guys to visit the Taj Mahal, but the photo you got is beautiful! We also found the Jain temples in India quite interesting. Our favorite one was in Bikaner (not the main one, but a smaller one in the old town) – the chanting and singing was so moving. We recorded it, but it just doesn’t have the same emotion as when it was live.

      Thanks Audrey. We are back in India now and going to be visiting more temples and of course the Taj Again. The Jain Temples really are our favorite. Wish we went to teh smaller one in bikaner. Oh well, some are meant to be missed, or like you said in an earlier statement, another reason to go back!

    Wow, holy smokes those temples look absolutely gorgeous. I find myself really interested in Indian things in general. The food, culture, etc…. I would love to go there! Do you think it would be safe for a 25 year old woman to travel there alone?
