I preferred to walk. An hour long Bharatnatyam performance followed by a dinner buffet was next on our schedule.

They told the stories of Shiva-Parvati, Krishna-Radha and other beautiful chapters from Hindu mythology. ________________________________________________ The view from my #SoulWindow has rhythm! ________________________________________________ It was a part of the Southern Splendour route taken by me aboard the Golden Chariot, the only luxury train of South India.
