We also went to the Durga temple. This is the temple to the wife of Shiva. The custom used to be to bathe in the pool outside of the temple but we are told it is too polluted to do this anymore. Then to the temple to Mother India. This is a place dedicated by Mahatma Ghandi to all of India. It is a room with a 3d map of India. Our guide pointed out all of the major places we had visited and major cities. We went to a weaving “sweat shop” to see 3 weaving looms in use. It was hot and dark inside. We also went to an old palace that just happened to be a showroom for Kashmir carpets. We considered some beautiful carpets but had no idea as to what size we might need. The salesman was really good and could probably sell ice to an Eskimo. Back to the hotel for an afternoon of leisure.
