Hey you two T-Men! This is Tina, of Tina and Jamie, whom you met in Ollanta in Peru back in 2014. I was just looking for your post about Victoria Falls (which I wasn’t able to find..??), where Jamie and I will be going in a couple of months. Instead I found your post about the Jain Temple in Ranakpur. You might be the only other two people I know who went to an evening service there! My partner of the time, Matthew, and I spent over two hours there in 1986. At one point I was lying on the floor looking up at those magnificent arches. The priest who was on duty that day was so impressed with us that he showed us some catacombs under the floor. He then invited us to the evening service. It was deafening and fascinating. And yes, the Jains are such kind and lovely people! They seem to live their philosophy of kindness to all living things.
Anyhow, are you still traveling? And where is the post for Vic Falls?
Take care!! Tina
