India is a visually stunning country, and I figure if I write too much, that will get lost amongst words. Besides, detailed descriptions of places aren't going to mean much if you haven't been there.
So instead of swamping the photos with words, I'm just going to post 10 or so at a time, over a few days. I'll throw in tidbits of writing with my favourite stories and experiences here and there, but not too much.
So just look, take in the colours and the sights, and enjoy.
Delhi: Red Fort
Amritsar: Golden Temple, Durgiana Temple
We were lucky enough to visit the Golden Temple during Diwali - India's largest festival. The place was packed - even more so than usual - with pilgrims and worshippers, many of them bathing in the waters surrounding the temple. Despite the endless thousands crowding the temple grounds, volunteer workers gave masala chai (spiced tea) and fried onion snacks to anyone who wanted them. Sitting on the floor of the dining hall, enjoying hot tea dispensed (half of it on our feet) by a remotely-operated drum being wheeled between rows, proved a well-needed respite from the unending hustle and bustle just outside.
