Bye bye Nepal, Hi back in India... And the stress starts. We got nearly into a fight half an hour after entering India.
Korbi and I lighted up this candle and left it flowing with the Ganges which gives you long life and happy family.
Typical morning boat tour with Marc our friend which we met in Delhi before going to Nepal...
Mighty Varanasi and its never ending Ghats along the Ganges
A good shower which relieves you from the bad experiences in life and gives you new strength and luck in life.
Massive morning washing
Laundry please! In one of the dirtiest and most poisonous river in the world.
It's cold in Varanasi and the goats also need some warm clothes.
Some buffalos at the local restaurant eating rubbish from the bin.
Tried the best Lassi in the world! Thanks to Marc
Let's go for a complete different trip and let's have a jeep tour in the Bandhavgarh National Park
First traces of a tiger in the near surrounding and the hope to see one is not gone
Let's go hunting! Arms ready! Shoot!
There is a Kingfisher hidden in this picture, the national beer is called after this bird. Very important bird ;-)
Incredible India! (India's advertisement slogan)
Poor elephant is towing a long chain which is also his big leash
Finally here he is! A bit far, but I am kind of happy for this...
Ok let's move on to a different place by night train. Indian train station are always crowded like this with people sleeping on the floor and waiting for their train connection
This is Khajuraho village where I got invited for food (Dal and rice) in a family...
...and afterwards for a bike tour around the temple site
Hundreds of temples like those were build in this area, but only about 20 survived the Moghuls brutality. Still those which are left, are in very good shape. Maybe they liked it...
The temples are surrounded by scenes of everyday life of the common Indian from that time displayed through small statues which show musicians, maharajah, war and...
...sexuality. Which is shown pretty clearly and with a little bit of exaggeration in the details...
A facade of one of the temples with some generously contoured nymphs having a good time. Statues of Hindu gods are surrounding those main carvings. The guys who sculptured those walls must have been very funny guys.
Ganesh, one of the favorite gods, the elephant headed god, son of Shiva and Parvathi (you remember?!). He's the Lord of the Beginnings and will bring luck to any new completion.
Mustard fields in Khajuraho
Two Lotus flowers, symbols of Hinduism and of peace and beauty.
Some meditative words from Osho the worldly known and controversial sex-guru
The air in Agra is so dusty and full of smog that the sky always seems to have a grey colour. Still this building is stunning, but the degradation is visible and most of the money tourist spend for the entrance gets into the pocket of some corrupted men.
Amazing what the builders made possible, with full marble embroided with other gemstones
That's another way of traveling India
Hey Sugarman! We moved to Jaipur the capital of Rajasthan and did a market day, with full flavours all around!
Spices, full flavour!
Flower man is very important in Hindu culture. Flower are put nearly everywhere for good luck.
He's preparing wedding gifts. Those crown of money are given as gift to the other family during wedding. MONEY, MONEY!!!
Saree (traditional woman's wear) shop
My favorite wedding car ;-)
And don't forget the good old Indian dirt
this bike seems to hang around here for a while...
Jaipur and the forts and long walls in the back
One of many Maharajah water palaces on the way to Amber fort
Amber palace, I think the most enjoyable monument we have visited so far. Every door is open, you can go on roofs and enter all corridors which makes you feel like a kid playing in a big labyrinth.
Monkeys like ice cream and eat it not the biting way but licking like they are really enjoying it
Life on the roofs and in the sky
Mirror palace.
Streetlife of Jaipur
Construction in Sarees. Women have to work as hard as men. Next step: train to Bombay where we will meet sweet Lara for three magic weeks.
