brought back my memories!
Now by reading your blog I got to see what the Om Bana Temple actually looks like! I mentioned it in my blog but didn't actually make it there... In fact, my last trip to India was 2.5 years ago, but life has been so busy that I am still catching up on my blogs. So it was very enjoyable and brought back some memories to read yours! Great photos also!
