Eight weeks all up. Two of them on the well-trodden tourist path of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, but none of which I’ve visited before. Then on to some other of Rajasthan’s celebrated cities, and up to Amritsar, in the Punjab near the border with Pakistan. Finally, down south to Goa, some 23 years after I was last there.
In Delhi I visit the National Gandhi Museum where, in the Martyrdom Gallery, they display the dhoti, or loincloth, the mahatma was wearing the day in 1948 he was shot and killed by a Hindu fundamentalist.
