New Delhi Museum

Since it was raining, we decided to take refuge in the Museum (hahaha, this was really in the itinerary ok).


There was a huge collection of rock and wood carvings...

Silk miniature paintings with incredible detail. No face or dress that are the same. (Click for actual size, I hope.)
