Yesterday I went to a different section of Delhi and wandered around the observatory of Jantar Mantar (originally Yantra-Mantra). It was built in the 1724 by Sawai Jai Singh II.
It was a delight to wander through the complex next to these looming red structures. The park was filled with other (mostly Indian) sightseers. I also had my first experience of Indians asking to take their pictures with me - for no apparent reason. I'd heard about this weird phenomenon from other people who traveled through India, but yesterday was the first time it happened to me. Five times.
