31st Jan
We arrived in Maihar after a 15 hour overnight journey on
the train from Delhi enjoying an Indian picnic dinner in our cozy private
compartment which was outfitted with
bunk beds. The journey was well spent getting to know each other and I could
see that the group chemistry and dynamics was going to be great!
Our host in Maihar
Ambica Beri welcomed us to her beautiful compound and her hospitality made us feel instantly at
home. The Maihar house gardens and
studio are lovely and nearby Art Ichol as
breath taking as the pictures we had seen.
After the morning of looking around the facilities, we
decided to drive to the Khajuraho temples, known for their explicit erotic
stone carving. It ended up being a 2.5hr
drive each way on a very bumpy road. It was ambitious for our first day but the
temples were inspiring and they more than made up for the terrible guide we
got.
