In a nearby town, there was the tomb of Aurangazeb Alamger. Our guide told us the name of the town and the importance of the person, but I don't remember that and will need to look it up on wikipedia. I believe he was king who built the Bibi Ka Maqbara There were his tomb, the tomb of his teacher, and the tombs of his children and wife. There was a person led me around and explained things (not at my request). At one of the tombs there was a donation box which I put a coin in. As I was leaving the man said he was a priest and clearly wanted a donation, but I felt OK that I had already left a donation (though not for him in particular). He or another man also asked the four women visitors for a donation, but they had not been permitted to see the tomb of the teacher and so Dawa said that they would make no donation if they weren't allow to visit the teacher's tomb.

On the way back from Ellora Caves I noted how dry and arid the coutry side was, though we are just a couple of months away from the monsoon season (summer) when it will get cooler and there will be rain everyday. I also noticed a water park (above) which was most appealing. The next morning we left slightly later (8AM) and went to Daulatabad Fort which was on the way to Ellora Caves. Here you can also see John visiting with Lamala. Daulatabad Fort, India. =0=
