As I was walking away from the fort towards the tombs of Mohammed Gaus and Tansen, I suddenly saw a stall with some weird looking orangy mounds on it so I stopped to take a closer look. Flies were virtually all over the pieces and the stall holder cut off a piece and handed it to me. I reluctantly took it and ate it. It was sweet and then I suddenly remembered reading about something in Lonely Planet about a food called Peitha which is made from dried pumpkin and glucose which is flavoured with rosewater, coconut or saffron. It's the first time I'd eaten pumpkin and I didn't like it that much but I thanked the guy for letting me have a piece and wished it wouldn't do any harm on my digestive system!

  The main attraction in Gwalior is its hilltop fort with its temples and palaces. However the highlight of my visit was without a doubt the rock-cut Jain sculptures on my way to the fort. The...

Glorious Gwalior

 Gwalior was one of my favourite spots. It has a spectacular medieval hilltop fort and a quirky museum in the Jai Vilas Palace.... and the best bit of all... there wasn't another westerner to be seen....
