After Agra we headed east to Khajuraho and their dirty karma sutra temples. Very cool and clean town with our nicest hotel yet. Even had waffles one night.
Hired some old school bikes and toured round some of the eastern temples. Sams kept breaking!
One of the spectacular Western Temples. Very intricate and detailed.
Some of the dirty sculptures that cover the temples.Then on to Varanasi and the most sacred river to the Hindu people, the Ganges River. A very interesting time here as we walked along the ghats that line the river. We witnessed dead bodies being cremated, a man with his hand up a goat pulling out a stillborn, a buffalo giving birth and hundreds of people bathing in one of the most contaminated rivers on earth.
Chaos at one of the ghats.
Buffalo taking a mid afternoon dip!
One of the cremation sites.
Time for some chai tea! Disposable terracotta cups.
Crazy ceremony happening on one of the ghats. Its a nightly thing.
