The background in this photo is the Hindu temple that is on the site of Tipu Sultan’s Palace, but which predates the Sultan’s Indo-Islamic teak structure. There is a simple but beautiful garden in between the palace and the temple that displays various flowering plants.

Bonus pic
The top pic reminded me of a line of poem I once scrawled: “I see a miracle in each leaf.” The little guy seems pretty fascinated anyhow.
What is he (or she–we weren’t that well acquainted) thinking?
