Jaipur Literary Festival 2012, then a whistle-stop tour of southern India

During our recent trip to the Jaipur Literary Festival (followed by a 3-week spin around southern India and Orissa), Marie was blessed by a temple elephant of Hindu persuasion. But first she had to pay the wee beastie a two rupee coin: see the above pic. If you would like to see how the elephant completed its holy duties, read on. But do make yourself a coffee first - there are three Episodes.

Click to continue to Episode 1 (from Kolkata to the Jaipur Festival. When you get to the end of that page, you'll be offered the next link to continue on to Episode 2, and so forth).

(If you happen to prefer to skip ahead without first seeing Jaipur, you can go direct to either

Episode 2  (Goa, Hampi, Bangalore, Mysore)
m or
Episode 3  (Kollam, Trivandrum, Madurai, Trichy, Rameswaram, and Puri).

(Any link in funkypix2 will open in its own new window for your convenience).
