Where Am I Going?

This is a super tight itinerary. People say I won't have time to breathe, but other than India in general, there are very few specific things I want to see. Besides, I never do what I'm told anyway.

Mumbai - Bandra - Where "... $280 will secure you a stunning gem encrusted ring". I may be travelling light, but there's always room for gem encrusting.

Kalighat - I have always wanted to go to the Kali temple. I've read that this is a horrible, dark and dangerous place, but that's always been part of the history.

Varanasi - This is the classic India and I love crowds.

Agra - The Taj Mahal. Need I say more?

Khajuraho - One of many world heritage site in India.

Amritsar - I'm not a fan of gold, but I've wanted to see the Golden Temple. I'm making sure I hit at least one site for each major religion. At least that's my excuse.

Jaipur - Check out the pictures on thislink. How can anyone compete with those colors? Desert, Jain temples and one of the best places to shop but particularly for gems and jewelry.

Delhi - I was going to describe this a culture, civilization and education, but then the anthropologist in me screamed 'ethnocentrism'.
