The massive Golgumbaz mausoleum can be seen for miles around Bijapur. The wide gallery around the base of the dome produces curious echos. So it is called the whispering gallery. Margaret chatting with a friendly local family experimenting with the accoustics in the whispering gallery

Two absolutely charming people we met in Jami Masjid (Friday Mosque). Their infectious smiles send a glow around the whole mosque.

Inspecting the huge canon on the city walls. We watched fascinated as this anxious bull had metal shoes nailed to its hooves by an itinerant blacksmith.

We met this handsome couple in the beautiful Ibrahim Rauza Mausoleum and Mosque.

Sharing a joke at the Hindu Temple at Koodalsangam. Everyone was friendly, warm and welcoming. This lady wanted her picture taken and smiled widely as she chatted to Margaret but then adopted a very serious face for the photograph.

We were invited to this wedding at the Koodalsangam Temple and asked to join in the wedding meal.

Two types of transport. Margaret with Mehboob and our Tata saloon. Hanging on for dear life aboard a three wheel truck bound for Bijapur.
