Just checking in from India, with one day to go before the opening of Disha Hospital. I set off from London on Thursday night, slept the whole way to Delhi and picked up a connecting flight to Udaipur, arriving late last night local time. I've been to the hospital site and it's looking fantastic, so just a few pictures today from here, where the whole city is getting ready for Diwali - the Festival of Light - next Friday, 5th November. Decorations are going up everywhere (below).
Rajasthan has had the best monsoon season for five years, so all the lakes here in Udaipur are full and looking quite fantastic, so more later when I've had a chance to see my favourite city at sunset. The gardens here are looking better than ever and I've already had a dash round Sahelion-ki-Bari (below).
Looks like you had a great trip.
ReplyDeletewith the rains I am sure every garden looked amazing
so glad to see the Sahelion-ki-Bari full of water, enjoy Diwali!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful trip and project. The fountain is lovely. I see the poachers even got his tusk.
ReplyDeleteGlad you can start refreshed after sleeping on the flight over. Look forward to seeing the new hospital garden. Enjoy the celebrations!
ReplyDeleteI have one of those flowers out in my garden. Having misplaced the tag when I bought it on ebay... can you tell me what kind it is? That elephant can come live in my garden!
ReplyDeleteFestival of Lights sounds wonderful, Enjoy. I hope the opening of the hospital goes smoothly.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck with the grand opening! Looking forward to seeing the photos.
