Dilli Haat and Akshardham with Alisha and Kareena Singh

Dilli Haat is an open air market sponsored by the government of  India.

Thursday evening, the Singh family took me to this amazing shopping area.
Alisha, Kareena, Roli, Sanjeev,  Roly's father walked from shop to shop looking at items from all over India:
Beautiful scarves
Lamps, birds and butterflies of thin leather
Indian Minature Paintings
One artist was painting names on grains of sand using India ink and a brush.
He has one with Alisha painted on it already.

Friday, we want to Akshardham.
Largest temple in the world dedicated to Swameraryayan.
There is a temple in Lillburn, GA that was the most expensive to build.
NO CAMERAS WERE ALLOWED
In this magnificent sandstone temple dedicated to Swamenaryayan
Built just five tears ago,
It was covered in hundreds of relief sculptures.
The base of the temple was surrounded bya frieze of 70 life sized elephants.
