Aurangabad 4

a typical village street on the way to Ajanta
the sign for the restaurant where we took breakfast. I had the last item--Jain Thali. Jain food is apparently mild, and Thali is a platter with different masalas, daals, chutneys, rice and chapathi. my fave.
statues guarding a shrine in an Ellora cave (Jain, I think?)
Another Jain prayer hall
Murals on the ceilings inside select shrines; this one is apparently recognized for the eyes of the goddess in the upper right corner--they follow you wherever you stand
