We all had to get "outfitted" for the wedding, so after the Mehendi & Haldi ceremony, off to the dress shop we sped; Marie & Janet hadn't been shopping with us the day before

This is the backyard, there were extensive front and side gardens

Chandigarh Rock Garden

Some of the many figures in the rock garden - it was huge with buildings, waterfalls and many, many more figurines

Map of India

Locate Delhi in the north, then go even farther north to locate Chandigarh in the Punjab - near the northern Pakistani border
