 Elderly Hindus literally waiting for death in a hospice immediately next to the burning ghats in Varanasi, where the faithful dead are cremated. According to Hindu tradition, people who die and are cremated within the city limits escape the cycle of resurrection and proceed directly to Nirvana.  The skyline of the Western Group of Khajuraho’s Hindu temples, as seen at dusk.  The white marble face of the Taj Mahal catches some midafternoon sun.  Sunset over Nahargarh Fort in Jaipur.  Hindu women preparing to leave one of the ghats on Lake Pushkar, a holy bathing place for the Hindu Lord Brahma.  Indian tourists in the women’s courtyard at Mehrangarh Fort in Jodhpur, a huge Mughal fortress.  The inner courtyard of the Jama Masjid, India’s largest mosque. This square can hold up to about 25,000 worshipers at capacity. |
