Indore Coffee Table


One evening we went out to dinner at a place called the Coffee Table. As we were waiting for the car to pick us up, I spotted a playground near the entrance.

Indore Mirror Temple


The Kaanch Mandir literally translates as the mirror temple. The entire temple (floor to ceiling) was covered in multi-colored glass mosaics. I couldn't take photos inside so I took one in the doorway as I left :)

Indore Jain Temple





The Gommat Giri Temple. The statue above looked so lifelike it was creepy. Directly above are footprints of each of the 24 holy men of the Jain religion.

Bhopal--Workout



Nana was showing us his morning workout. If we do this every morning we will be fit as a fiddle.

Bhopal--Home







Mix of images of Nana, Nani and their home. Nani makes beautiful pillow covers, bed spreads, aprons, wall hangings. The man with the sewing machine is a tailor that comes everyday to help her with her creations.

Bhopal--Agarwal Jain Temple



This temple was just up the hill from the Shiva temple.

Bhopal--Bhojeshwar Temple









This temple dedicated to Shiva has never been completed. It is located in the middle of the countryside and we found it so peaceful and beautiful.
