First steps in India!
16 settembre 2019, India ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C
Well I have arrived in India for a two week tour of Rajasthan (the land of the kings), it will be an amazing experience! First impressions are the juxtaposition between the brand new metro system, and the dire poverty on the streets! But the the hustle and bustle of the place, mixed with the smells are a treat to the senses!Leggi altro

Jama Masjid

First stop on my first day in New Delhi is Jama Masjid, a Muslim mosque and the largest mosque in the whole of India. The area outside of the mosque is called Chandni Chowk, and as you can see from the pictures it was very, very intense, from the smells, to the cars, to the people, to the dust... it was a LOT to take in!Leggi altro

Sikh Temple
18 settembre 2019, India ⋅ ⛅ 31 °C
Sikh Temple on old Delhi. We were shown around the multiple buildings of the temple and then we were able to help in the kitchens of the GIANT canteen. Everyday they serve 50,000 people, they rely on the generosity of people to help make the food and also of the wealthy to pay for the food, as the meals are completely free!

I helped make the roti bread, from rolling the bread, to then cooking it on the hot plate and open flames, it really was a fantastic experience!Leggi altro

Ghandi's Memorial

First stop on our tour is the final home of Ghandi, needing little background he was assassinated shortly after India gained their indepe from the United Kingdom. It was at his home when Ghandi left to give evening prayers in the garden that he was murdered. The memorial gives his final steps in the form of stones, and you are able to go inside his home and see where he worked, slept and greeted guests. There had been a number of attempts on Ghandi’s life throughout his time as India’s freedom fighter. On the day of the final attempt, Ghandi took a different route to evening prayers, it is believed that just how he changed the course of India, he too changed the course of his own life in order to meet his death.Leggi altro
