India's revolutionary idol, Gandhi's memorial was fascinating.

This mural adorns the prayer room that Gandhi was on his way to visiting when he was assassinated.

A local spice merchant catches a moments rest on bags of chillis.

Our rickshaw driver took us atop the spice market. Looking down it's a wonder people moved at all through the mass of rickshaws.

Tea, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, pepper, chillies, paprika, cumin....the aroma was incredible.

A wonderful ambiance, wonderful tea and scones in a great hotel.
