India: Images 42

Man in the next bus.

This Jain temple was really dazzling, but the photo came out dull.

Man going to bathe in the Hooghly.

Darjeeling. There is ongoing political unrest here. I was delayed one day in getting here, because everything was shut down and no buses or taxis were running. In this photo, there was some kind of political march. I stayed far enough back, just in case something erupted.

Darjeeling is located in the lower Himalayan range. The streets are a confusing zigzag on the hills. January is not the best time to visit. The entire region is covered with fog, obscuring any view of the mountains.
