This is a picture of wonderfully colorful Indian tourists, at the Red Fort, in Agra. The raja who had the Taj Mahal built (for his wife's remains), was imprisoned here by his son. If you look carefully, you can see the Taj Mahal in the distance, down the river.

by mariocibelli
This is the BOLLOYWOOD movie experience of all time, with full audience participation at the Maratha Mandir just across from Mumbai Central, it is the most fun I have ever had at the movie, and have now seen it 10 times.
It costs like 15 Rupees for a seat in the stalls and has been shown every day for 10 years at 1130AM.

Monkeys
by keeweechic
Enroute up the stairs or at least at the top you will come across monkeys. Even blue ones if they are sitting under the shade cloth. Be careful of them as they will whip things out of your hand before you know it, especially drinks or food. Also beware of women with metal canisters on their head posing by the gates at the top. If you take their photos, they will expect payment.
Location : Elephanta Island
