Right after my trip to Brazil in November I flew to Bangalore for FOSS.in 2008. It was one amazing conference! After the bold changes they had announced I feared they might be a bit too ... bold. But they were not. FOSS.in worked out very well, it was a great success, and it was good to see a lot of familiar faces again. (Which reminds me: Hey, the four of you from the PulseAudio Workout, could you please drop me a line? I forgot to put down your email addresses.)

After FOSS.in I flew up to Rajasthan for a much too short trip through this marvelous state:

That's Pushkar, Jaipur, Fatehpur Sikri and the Taj Mahal (the real one, not the Hotel they bombed).

Cool! Though you forgot to mention the food poisoning you got from mixing lassi and mango. :)

Great pictures, but IMHO a "Read more..." link after the first paragraph would have been much friendlier for people like me who read Planet Gnome.

Thanks for sharing your great pictures. In my eyes modern (western?) architecture pales in comparison with these beautiful buildings. Things don't seem always get better with time.

Hey, what is the copyright license on these photos? They are amazing - I'm sure Wikipedia would LOVE to host and use them if they were under a compatible license!!!!

Chris: CC-BY-SA 3.0. I am just to lazy to upload them to Wikipedia.

Just curious, did you use a tripod to take the panorama shots (I am asking since tripods are banned in these monuments, IIRC)?

Also, which software did you use to stitch the photos together?

And the EXIF data would be useful for photography enthusiasts like me.

Great shots nevertheless!

Baishampayan: no tripod. Just from my bare hands. That's why some of the panoramas actually have considerable errors in them if you look closely. It's all stitched with Hugin. And the gallery includes the seperate shots with EXIF data.
