Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thank you so much for posting these wonderful photos of Indian temples many of which I saw on my three trips to India nearly 20 years ago. Seeing them again makes me long to return to this uniquely wonderful country, my true spiritual home. Hopefully, there will be at least one more trip for me..

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Sorry to everyone for the repost of the photos and the large file. It was my intention to delete the photos and just send the comment but I have not been well and somehow overlooked it. Not a very auspicious start on my first posting to the group!
