Brian and the heat

This picture was taken at Fetahpur Sikri, another Mughal palace on the way from Agar to Jaipur.  Brian is standing in the enormous mosque that was built to honor the Sufi saint who blessed emperor Akbar, which led to the birth of a son.  The sun came out from behind the clouds just as we entered the mosque, just as Brian was given this pink cloth to cover his legs.  It was very hot.  He was not happy, but he handled the discomfort with grace as we made our way around the mosque.  In the middle of the mosque is a small temple where you can tie a string to receive a blessing for more children.  I skipped this step.  We were warned by Vinah, our driver, not to touch any cloth in the temple because you have to pay for the good luck you just received from touching the cloth.  This attraction had the most aggressive street vendors we have encountered so far on the trip.  I got a lot of compliments on my three sons in this mosque, not a surprise because of the reason it was built.
