         		 The museum from the entrance gate: by doherty1957, Views[786]
         		 This was me outside the museum in Calcutta. Quite an impressive building, what? The inside was full of statues and stuff and very very boring. Only the British and the Americans can make museums interesting in my experience: by doherty1957, Views[1011]
         		 This is a famous church in Calcutta. I forget the name but it and it's surroundings seem terribly British given that it is in the centre of Calcutta: by doherty1957, Views[8890]
     
    The river that flows through Pondicherry. In the heat of India it is just so enticing to dive in and cool down!: by doherty1957, Views[1696]
         		 Just a block away from the squalor and the dirt of the river is this rather pleasant corner cafe in a quiet, clean charming street. This is teh French side, of course. : by doherty1957, Views[967]
         		 The promenade: by doherty1957, Views[798]
         		 This was a rather quaint street in Pondicherry. The city was dirty and disgusting like any other Indian city but some of the streets were quite charming: by doherty1957, Views[1346]
         		 The beach at Pondicherry. : by doherty1957, Views[1408]
     
    A castle built on a rock. Within the rock there had been carved out a couple of Hindu temples into which non-Hindus were not allowed. There was also a temple at the top of the castle and although non-believers were not allowed there they didn't police it and I didn't know. The temple on the top of the palace wasn't very attractive but the view was good.: by doherty1957, Views[759]
         		 This is a pond in the middle of the city with a building in the middle. It is obviously a tribute to something or someone.: by doherty1957, Views[580]
         		 This was one one of the temples in the smaller, less visited, complex.: by doherty1957, Views[596]
         		 The main temple complex. This was more touristy. There are shops and houses right up to and insdie the temple. Cars drive through there. It's like it was a living place rather than a distant reserved place of worship: by doherty1957, Views[614]
         		 This is a picture of the old man who saw me lost in the lesser temple complex and decided to give me a tour. I'm fairly certain that he wasn't a regular guide, he just took pity on me, and he could hardly speak English. He just kept showing me little places and saying
     
    Main temple. The outer temples have shops, houses, and thoroughfares running through them. : by doherty1957, Views[594]
         		 Non Hindus are not allowed in the main temple but they are allowed to take photos from the roof of one of the outer temples. I found the white temple rather stunning: by doherty1957, Views[983]
         		 A silver elelphant inside one of the main temples. This is carried by devoted on certain religious ceremonies. It's bloody heavy: by doherty1957, Views[658]
         		 Another wonderful example of a southern Indian temple. At first they took my breathe away but in the end I was only visiting them because it was the done thing: by doherty1957, Views[687]
         		 Main temple. Carvings of horses mounted by Shiva like soldiers: by doherty1957, Views[700]
     
    These are called Chinese fishing nets and they catch fish, surprisingly enough. I saw some of the guys pull them in, they use levers to lower and then later raise the nets.: by doherty1957, Views[506]
         		 Another Chinese fishing net. Well, there wasn't much else to see: by doherty1957, Views[542]
         		 A pretty street in Cochin. The pretty part of the town is rather small and like Goa but without beer. I didn't stay too long: by doherty1957, Views[519]
         		 Two fishermen off the Cochin coast. Rather traditional, what?: by doherty1957, Views[526]
         		 Mysore palace. It's not allowed to take photos inside the palace which is quite a stunning place. There is a stage that overlooks a courtyard which was the most impressive place with columns and carvings of Hindu gods. Next best was a hall with a glass roof and ornate columns that supported the roof: by doherty1957, Views[1562]
     
    A temple in a normal street in Mysore. They're all over the place, at the time I used to be amazed but no I'm becoming quite blase about them: by doherty1957, Views[752]
         		 The river at Mysore. Poluted as ever, and it stinks.: by doherty1957, Views[1142]
         		 Elephants: by doherty1957, Views[707]
         		 This poor hippo wasn't allowed in the water for some reason. He was really upset and he was pining to get on the other side of the gate and the other hippo was consoling him, which was sweet. By the way, how can you tell the sex of a hippo?: by doherty1957, Views[699]
         		 I went to the zoo and I loved the hippos: by doherty1957, Views[623]
     
    This is teh temple atthe top of the hill overlooking Mysore. Inside you can get a blessing for 10 rupees. Although it overlooks the city I didn't find the view that good so no photo: by doherty1957, Views[633]
         		 In the temple I got a blessing from this priest who told me to take a photo of the garlanded thingie, I don't know what it is.: by doherty1957, Views[655]
         		 This temple is off a busy shopping street. I loved seeing the cow having a rest in the shade: by doherty1957, Views[631]
         		 The Mysore palace lights. I knew that they lit up the palace on Sunday nights but I didn't know that it was only for an hour and I just caught them. They use 96,700 lightbulbs and doesn't it look spectacular?: by doherty1957, Views[1006]
         		 The main shopping street in Bangalore. I bought some good trousers here, it took me 5 minutes flat as I approach shopping as I do sex. There was also a KFC and I had my first fast food for 3 months, it was OK.: by doherty1957, Views[751]
     
    Me posing at the bar. The guy with his back to the camera approached me later and we started chatting, he works in IT and is a big drinker. The guy told me how the police had called at his house that morning to take his fine for drink/driving and he was proud of it. He later introduced me to a friend of his who within one minute had anounced to me that he held an MBA and a PHD. Insecurity?: by doherty1957, Views[712]
         		 Bad photo but I didn't have many for Bangalore, it was a pretty dull place. It is in fact the outside of
         		 The gateways between the elephants' stables: by doherty1957, Views[494]
         		 Some sort of road check on the way to the main temple in Hampi: by doherty1957, Views[497]
         		 That's me inside the temple at Hampi bazar. I didn't want people to think I was just stealing photos from the net, I was actually there. Aren't digital cameras and in particular timers great?: by doherty1957, Views[549]
     
    This is the river at Hampi and it was quite beautiful around sunset. There are giant boulders everywhere: by doherty1957, Views[520]
         		 This is the temple at the end of the main street that leads to Hampi bazar.: by doherty1957, Views[528]
         		 This beggar woman approached me when I was on the rocky hill just above the Hampi bazar. She asked if I would take her photo but I think she thought that I might give her a few rupees for the privilege. I did give her a few rupees, she touched me in some way because she seemed so pathetic, probably because we talked a little.: by doherty1957, Views[644]
         		 Indian kids are photo tarts. They are also very funny, they like to say hello and shake hands and once you have shaken one hand and said hello then you will have to shake every hand and say hello. The girls were really sweet and happy that they managed to get in the photo: by doherty1957, Views[1740]
         		 At a site rather like Hampi bazar but deserted they are reconstructing a temple and surrounding area in the original manner. It should be a fascinating site when completed and a great tourist attraction: by doherty1957, Views[601]
