Benares

Also known as Varanasi. The colorful and somewhat overwhelming ancient city by the Ganges.


People go there to wash their clothes and textiles, bathe, go on a boat ride, give offerings or just socialize.


It was very busy but also very colorful in New Year's day.

The Taj Mahal

Early in the morning in thick fog. I actually preferred the light and scenery to the usual sunny depictions of the Taj in the background.

Jaipur

Walking the streets of Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan.



Most of the old city is a huge bazaar and it is very colorful.
