Kharjuraho

April 13, 1986
Kharjuraho, India

I do not seem to have much to say on my uninteresting stay at Kharjuraho. I guess it is because it had too much of the Eastern and Western Group of Temples. Being with another couple on this tour we had to be sociable. I stayed out of these Temple tours, one can only marvel at the craftsman’s ship on the exterior of these buildings that carried no meaning to both Eric and I.

But, here are a couple of photos to give you an idea of Kharjuraho and her Temples.






We spent the night at Hotel Jass Oberoi once again tired with the daily touring. If I recall correctly it rained making it a stay in evening for us.

We leave next morning for our flight from Kharjuraho to Delhi arriving there on Tuesday 15, April 1986.

Hope this short visit to Kharjuraho has not disconnected your interest to The Raj & Beyond, 1986 vacation.

Take rest, hope to see you in Delhi tomorrow.

God bless
Clare

Clare,

You have absolutely amazing pictures of India and their architecture. It sounds like it was a beautiful place to grow up and I enjoyed reading about it.

Hi Anonymous:

Happy to share these amazing pictures with everyone, as we all know, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

My life during the Raj was very simple and yes, I came from a poor family taught to respect each and everyone's view point in general.

Thanks for joining me on my 1986 vacation in India, DV you stay with Clare's Blog for her 1998 & 2001 vacations, ending with her childhood days in Kharagpur, India.

God bless
Clare
