Awesome Assam
Kamakhya Temple in Guwahati
Visited on the 20th death anniversary of my mother - which is also the O.M.'s father's death anniversary. Jai Ma!
"When the Supreme Devi [goddess] is well-pleased with the worship of the devotee, She turns into vichara [self-enquiry] in him and shines as the blazing Sun in the expanse of his Heart.
"If once vichara takes root, the highest good has, for all practical purposes, been reached in this life. As long as vichara is absent from a human being, the most desirable form of birth, so long is the tree of life barren and therefore useless. The only useful fruit of life is vichara."
-from Dattatreya's Tripura Rahasya, Chapter II, 70 & 77)

Shopping in Jaipur
Is no fun, compared to my experience in Mysore. The need to be on alert & constantly bargain is exhausting & only exacerbated by the heat, so I only go when necessary.
A salesman today told me you cannot get a ready made sorry blouse anywhere in Jaipur.., and then proceeded to sell me one.
The tuk-tuk drivers (who get a cut of what I spend) have takin me to some cool places. Well not cool per se, but really interesting.
At this place, they weave the rugs, and hand print the fabric: on site

much better
Went to see the Rani's tomb & shop for swimsuits on Monday after the vomiting.
The latter was an odyssey that took us all over Jaipur (including the mall, which served one of the most amazing utthapams I've ever had). Jai Guru!
