No trip to India is compete without a visit to the Taj Mahal.
A trip to Rajasthan, India in February 2005 was not only a fabulous and interesting vacation, but also one filled with amazing opportunities to take unusual and beautiful pictures.
The city of Deshnoke is the location of a unique Hindu temple which houses 2,000+ sacred rats. The Karni Mata temple has a constant stream of worshipers sharing food and praying to these rodents, who scurry throughout the temple buildings and courtyard. Huge bowls of milk are put out for these hungry little creatures and they lap it up in a cooperative and well-mannered way.
