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

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
