The Brits were a little sore over those rockets from India
Just arrived in #Rajasthan, starting with #Udaipur, the famous City of Lakes. And I have to say, I liked it more than I expected
It’s not just the lakes and the surrounding hills, or even the old town
There’s something about the whole setting that makes it a really enjoyable place to explore
But the highlight is the City Palace, massive, one of the biggest in #India (up there with #Mysore). Endless rooms, intricate details, and some great views over the lake.
If you are in #Mysore on April 7, this is a really cool talk to attend in a really cool campus. I have visited some of these temples and got a demonstration of the #astronomy and time-keeping architecture and apparatus.
After visiting #Mysore, I took a night bus to #Hampi… and I have to say, it turned out to be one of my favorite places in #India, maybe the favorite.
Hampi feels like an open-air museum. Ruins, temples, and ancient structures are scattered everywhere.
There’s a calmness in Hampi that’s hard to explain. It’s quiet, spacious and somehow deeply immersive, you really feel the history around you.
From #Kochi, I took a night bus to #Mysore
Woke up in a completely different vibe—less tropical, more inland #India
Mysore is where I saw my first proper Indian palace… and wow. The Mysore Palace is easily one of the most impressive in the country.
The architecture is stunning, and the interior halls are just as impressive, detailed ceilings, massive rooms, and that royal feeling everywhere.
