Faces of India

Since we’ve traveled through a bunch of North India areas recently, I thought a “Faces of India” blog would be a good way to show the various people we encountered. Generally, people were warm and friendly, asking us to take their photos, asking for photos with us and obliging our requests for photos in their natural environment. Few words and lots of photos.

Here a Muslim boy is rushing to the mosque for noon time prayers in Delhi.



A young lady reluctantly, but agreeably poses at the Taj Mahal in Agra



This gentleman was taking a mid-day coffee break in one of the bazaars in Delhi













There's this guy who looks like an Indian version of Buddy Ebsen





This gentleman is very proud to be an Indian Sikh and was overjoyed to meet an American at the Taj Mahal.





Ladies waiting for their men at the Taj Mahal...



Here's an amazing series of two photos to end this blog. These young girls were in line waiting to get into the Taj Mahal building to see the tombs inside. The first photo is on my initial approach as I asked to take their photo.



Then I smiled, showed them the photo and the barriers came down and they relaxed and showed a different attitude.
