They invited me to dinner and I accepted (even though many folks warn against that sort of thing.) I got a glimpse an Indian household and community.

The high lights of Aurangabad were the ancient cave temples of Ellora and Ajintha. Very detailed Hindu, Jain and Buddhist temples carved out of mountains. Elephanta Island, Mumbai times 100! Flash photography was prohibited so these photos are from the outisde, one at ground level and one looking down from the cliff.
