Thali time in Orchha...this one is all-veg, with local versions of several dishes. And virtually chili-free even after our pleas for heat. Very good flavors despite that, and both butter naan and chapati were freshly made. Lunch at Open Sky: recommended! bit.ly/2BBXvxl pic.twitter.com/rOgNfRjVzt

Temple interior at Khajuraho. The stunning carvings here are on the exteriors of the temples, several dating to the 10th century. Several also feature beautifully worked images in the inner sanctum, very much worth climbing the stairs for! bit.ly/2DIYcp3 pic.twitter.com/eGW6LnO6W9
