And the Mummy Returns

Warangal Ruins

TAJ Mahal Tomb

King Akbar's Tomb in Delhi

Each picture denotes a 1000 words I will never know the full story behind. Tombs. I don't even know how to linguistically describe the astounding beauty of all the tombs I have seen on this trip. They are so elaborate. Every time I see a shocking piece of architecture and lean out the window to take a picture, I find out it is someone's gravestone.

It is a way for the memory and grandeur of these noble beings, kings, great leaders, hypothesized gods/goddesses to live on. It is a way for their actions and legacy to live on. It is a way for them to continually return to be a part of Indian and Hindu culture/society. So while the mummies' remains may be long decomposed, it is believed the spirits of these people stand guard and can hear your prayers or wishes when you enter into their tomb rooms; a place considered sacred.

While I am no king or noblewoman, I aspire to have such love after my death.
