beautiful pictures ... i have been to India - but did not get to really be a "tourist".   i have always wanted to travel through india - taking my time.   it is such a wonderful expression of "all walks of life". 

perhaps, i need to work towards this goal : )

The white building in picture 14 and 15 are pictures of the Baha'i temple in New Deli. It is 9 sided and shaped like a lotus blossom. There are over 1 million Baha'is in India.

Well, one million just in India. There are about seven million world wide, it is the second most wide spread religion (after Christianity) and it is the largest religious minority in Iran. My parents are both Baha'is, and I was raised a Baha'i. While I am no longer religious, I am still glad I was raised a Baha'i because of its peaceful, tolerant and progressive teachings which have very much influenced my views on most everything.

The picture of the mosque shown at the beginning of this article is one of the two on either side of the Taj Mahal. I took a picture while visiting there and made a side by side comparison from my photo file to make sure. We always see the Taj Mahal without the two mosques being shown.

The heading photo is of Dehli. Just read about it in a great book, the name of which escapes me at the moment... written by a BBC producer who lives there.
