    Great post... I loved seeing your Seven Wonders of India. Of course, I have heard of the Taj Mahal. But I have never heard of any of the others. My fav's are the Golden Temple and the Sun Temple. Both are GORGEOUS.

    Thanks for sharing.
    Hugs,

    The Taj Mahal is just so stunning. I think for sure if I visited India that I would take that in. - Some very interesting statuary there. Not sure about the Erotica stuff but the other's would be something I would enjoy seeing.

    Stunning photos. I hope I can see some of these places one day. I don't know if it is the angle of the photo or if the Golden Temple is leaning (like the Leaning Tower of Pisa).

    I just love all these photos. Since I retired from 21 years of forensic nursing, in San Francisco's massive cuts to Public Health, I have spent 12 months in India - since Dec 2011. I wish my finances allowed me to travel all over but I am doing little by little. Last year, I lived five months in Jaipur which was wonderful. I saw the Taj back in 1997 during a ten day visit...but I need to go again.
