Yesterday I saw the Golden temple, Shiva Temple, a Nepali Temple. Last night saw a huge arti puja with 7 Hindu priests. It was a big Hindu worship with fire. This morning was the boat ride on the Ganges. It was great until half way back the string holding on  an oar broke. They tied another one on but the current was very strong and they had to ( Read more... )

Hello everyone! I'm in Delhi again. Only for a few hours though. Yesterday I took a bus from Jaipur to Delhi then a taxi to the airport.

JAIPUR! I arrived last night at 3 am! The same activist group that shut down the trains between Arga and Jaipur shut down the highway between the two cities only hours before we needed it.
