Today we went to the palace art gallery, it’s full of statues and bronzes many dating from the 10th century. We went up the palace tower squeezing through tiny staircases all the way to the top. We watched the world from high up looking down on everything even the backs of beautiful green parrots flying through the air. I could see the big temple and 3 other very colourful smaller ones, palm trees, a barking dog, a woman leading a calf, a cocky cock scratching the earth, people playing cricket in the orange dust. Its a skyline that could be from 100’s of years ago exempt for the many communication towers. I sat in the lovely peace and quiet for a long time until we were eventually invaded by hoards of school kids that stare at us as if we have 3 heads.
Went to the dance festival again, there was an amazing pink sunset and bright crescent moon framing the temple.
Loving it here in India generally (helps having a lovely room to retire to!). The colours of the flower garlands, the beautiful saris, your eyes are never bored, 1/3 of the smells are pleasant and your ears are always deafened.
