Me, with Orchha's Jehangir Mahal in the background



29/01/07 - Orchha

The sprawling Raj Mahal in Orchha
And the adjacent Jehangir Mahal

30/01/07 - Orchha & En Route

And the principal temple
And me conquering my vertigo, at the top of the principal temple
The royal tombs at Orchha

31/01/07 - Gwalior

One of the wells at Gwalior Fort
Small and sweet temple at Gwalior Fort
And the outside of the main palace

01/02/07 - Sanchi

The principal stupa, originally erected by Ashoka, at Sanchi
Detail from one of the gates, showing stories from Buddha's life
Another nearby stupa

A cow showing the locals how to queue (in Indore)

03/02/07 - Mandu

The waterside palace complex in Mandu, with Milla and reflection of Milla
And the so-called Ship Palace
The Jama Masjid (mosque) - the whole place was very Islamic

04/02/07 - Ajanta

Inside one of the very dim but famous caves at Ajanta - believe me, the walls are covered in mostly worn paintings
And the outside sweep around the valley
