Day 2

Update on my bag: My bag hasn't been delivered yet. Hopefully it will be here soon.


Since it seems I am not working again today, I hired a car to take me around the city. It cost 1,050 Rupes for 4 hours (about $30). Can't beat that.

The first stop is the Aga Khan Palace. This is the Gandhi National Memorial. Built in 1892, this is where Mahatma Gandhi was imprisoned for 2 years after he delivered his 'Quit India' Resolution. Gandhi's ashes are here as well.


After this, I had the driver take me to the Shindyanchi Chhatri. This is the memorial to Mahadji Shinde, the commander-in-chief of the Maratha army.




I also went to the Pataleshwar Cave. It is an 8th century temple.
