Visited the Amber Fort by ourselves and afterwards went around the Amber village and get a close up of life in a slum.
We passed a large Swastika sign on a hill (we see it everywhere in India, click on the first photo to enlarge) and it's hard to cope with it since Hitler took the sign and made it mean something entirely different for all of us in the Western world. It's made up of two Sanskrit words that basically mean that all is well with the world and seems to have been first used about 2500BC by the Indus valley civilisations of India.. Hotels often display it on their entry gate posts and it's still widely used in Eastern religions.
