In the caves of Ajanta, many wall paintings have been preserved. As harsh light can damage these artworks, some of which have survived for centuries, flashes and outside lighting are prohibited. Therefore, it’s a challenge get decent photos, but here are a few attempts.

Except for old firehouses, one doesn’t see a lot of red buildings. So this one in the Fort District caught my eye. I didn’t realize until I returned home that it’s the home of “The Bombay Samachar,” which is the oldest continuously published newspaper in India–having begun in the year 1822.
