Delhi and the Largest Hindu Temple

file-94a6f6b9-c9f8-47d7-9775-db50b13e197b-12285-000004f8d651237fWe arrived safely and spent two days in Delhi. The Homestay is great, and Meera has looked after us really well – cooked us dinner, taken us out for dosas and showed us where to shop!

AAED96C2-CE56-43E1-AC2F-3BAC3243EA5EAs we have been to Delhi before, our sightseeing didn’t follow the usual route.  Starting with the ‘new’, we went to the largest Hindu temple in the world which was completed in 2005 … the temple is supported by 148 elephants round the plinth, and there is also a robotic history of the guru and a Disney-style boatride of Indian history … Yes India can certainly do cheesy!!

… the Jamad Masjid, the largest mosque in India …

Delhi certainly was busy … 7A166D33-7EE1-4A82-AC77-7EE3A6D07F2417F66BA1-4F96-4D47-BE60-1367E5A4EE66… and now we are off to Bangalore.
