We were in Delhi over Holi. We saw evidence of the festivities, but didn't get much action ourselves.
One of the sites we visited was the Qutub Minar.
The Islamic architecture in India is really amazing. I haven't yet made a point of visiting many Hindu temples and sites. To-do list amended.
Here's a shot of the complete minaret. A second was also started and abandoned.
The level of detail on almost every surface of the entire compound is overwhelming.
Tropical birds! We're not in Kansas anymore. There were also a lot of monkeys in Delhi.
We visited a little shopping area/alley in Delhi. This was one of the most contemporary and, dare I say hip, feeling areas I've visited in India.
Right down to the local graffiti artist, Spray Dog.
There were art galleries, clothing and music shops, but it doesn't look like we got pictures of any of them.
An extra special thanks to Push, Rashmi, and Arun for your company and hospitality. Please do let us return the favour and visit us in Pune!
