Rishikesh/ Haridwar

Rishikesh-- yoga capital of the world





Laxman Jhula- one of two suspension bridges in Rishikesh that crosses the Ganges (and quite a tight squeeze when motorcycles and donkeys with big loads are crossing)



a green trail, just wandering, trying to find a good yoga session


we found one...  taking our shoes off before going inside


our ascetic friend, Raju Baba.  We met him through an exchange of drawings and he joined us on our day's adventures.

Haridwar-  We arrived a bit late, missed the fire ceremony on the Ganges.  A remnant candle floating by.


Teeka powder used by Hindu married women for bindis.


the paparazzi here are like no other.
