Came across this one from way back in Oct 2006. The 3 week trip took us through many vibrant and overcrowded but lovely cities throughout India. Lots of pictures where taken in little time. Thought is was worth seeing if LR could help this one out a bit. It's still much prettier in person. I plan go back again soon and give Rajasthan another look. Lots can change in a decade. New Delhi even has a metro :)
