Just got back from a Business trip to India. Was working most of the time but did manage to sneak a weekend in for sight-seeing.
Akshardam Hindu temple - one of the largest temples in the world:
hard to see in the photo but the pinnacles are made of solid gold and about the size of Volkswagens.
They don't allow pictures inside the temple so could only take photos from the parking lot.
Typical Traffic in India:
The lines on the road mean nothing everyone ignores them, even divided roads have people driving down them going the wrong way.
Even the traffic signals when working are mostly ignore unless they have police:
Its very common to see 3-4 people even on a motorcycle or a ton of people packed into a little rickshaw or motorized rickshaw:
Got to see the Taj Mahal. There are 4 gates and this is the Royal Gate:
One Minerette per year it took to build the gate:
Seeing the Taj Mahal for the first time as coming through the Royal Gate:
Everything is perfectly aligned, the fountains with the center line of both the Taj and the gates.
Look I can pick up the Taj!
