Heart Of India
Posted On Saturday, December 18, 2004 at at 12:00 AM by AlvinIn the heart of India, we took time to savor a few memorable scenes. These include the bare-feet families in Rajastan castles, the tasty sweet from the street sweet carts, the hard-working Indian women in the fields and of course the ever-present ox carts pulled by the always-reliable ox.
The Amritsar Golden Temple in Punjab
Posted On Tuesday, December 7, 2004 at at 11:58 PM by AlvinWe took a Northerly turn after we left the Agra area and headed up the Punjab Province. We arrived in Amritsar, the province's main city and found the city a pleasant chaos, much like other Indian cities... We made our way to the Golden Temple, our main reason for coming this far up North, and as was the rule, we made sure we covered our heads when we entered this sacred temple and it was truly an inspiring religious site with many dedicated worshipers. It was a gloriously sunny day which made the lake and The Golden Temple shining like a giant piece of jewelery.
