They also had a living rock gallery there which was a collection of natural sculptures--rocks which take on the appearance of an object.

One cool thing about India is that everywhere I go I keep seeing these white geometric patterns drawn on the ground or on the sides of buildings.  Padmini explained they're just for decoration.  Here's one example:

Finally, I halfway achieved one of my goals for this trip, seeing an elephant.

Hopefully I'll see a live one yet before I leave!
