excavations


excavations
Originally uploaded by mayavi.

This is one of the sites that was excavated. Unfortunately, this is a whole stretch of place where the ruins are scatterred arnd kms. And as you guessed it, the tickets were outrageously priced. We skipped a lot initially but had made arrangements to reach the palce without any tickets and paying some money and even ended up in fight bargaining !

Well, that was something that was not ethical to do, but taking a vacation, travel all the way only to see everything is priced in dollars (God, we still earn in rupees whish is 50 times lesser than the Dollar), cldnt prevent it. A mistake consciously made !!!

When is that from? It' beautiful. and it looks very well preserved (that's why i ask when it is from).

I very much liked the picture. (do u have a pic of the figure next to this one?).

PS: I hate it that almost everything that's interesting and old is expensive :(
