LAST WEEKS IN INDIA

Ox wagons and gypsies

Rows of wagons

They are taking their animals as well

Cotton harvest time

Our first view of the Ajanta Temple Caves

Amazing paintings inside


And great front doors

Such workmanship

Love this one


Drying grain on the road

Entering the Temple at Ellora Caves

The carving is amazing

All hewn out of the rock - from the top downwards


More caves in the complex



On our way down the mountains to Goa

And sunset over the ocean

Our camp spot

Such lush green scenery

The Cathedral at Old Goa

More crops hogging the road

The scenery around Hampi

Heading through the villages

Our scooter for the day 

Harvesting rice


The Ladies Bath House

A small section of the ruins

Stepwell


Temple carvings

Watch Tower

Lovely House

The Elephant House


So much!


The river near the old Hampi village



My favorite piece - the stone chariot


Leaving Hampi

And heading south

The Cathedral at Mysuru

The Expo beside our camp spot

The Palace at night

And day

Exploring the markets - powder for face paint

And the flowers





Banana leaves for plates

In town


And into the Palace grounds

Incredible


See where we are camped - just through the archway


The Car Museum

And in the National Park

Yes I know - he has a rope around his neck and a chain on his foot

And into the forests

And Tea Plantations

And cropping areas


Love the pastel houses - especially from a distance


Hebron School



Heading down the mountain

Local dress - they are all wearing it (the men that is)

Villages all have Temples

Heading to Fort Cochin

Vasco de Gama Church

Laundry - that old iron was heavy

Waterways

The Cultural experience - such an expressive face

And amazing outfits


The colours kept changing - it was a bit scary

The huge inlet 

And fishing nets



So many waterways

At Veraka Beach


The old Temple


Photo Op through the gates


Rice paddies and rocky outcrops as we continue south



Right at the bottom at sunset point


And this at the very bottom of India


So many pilgrims

At the Church

And all the boys


Love how the ladies in this area wear flowers in their hair
