Cow Carriage

Not surprisingly, cow carriages are pretty common in India and they share the road with motorized vehicles:

Horses in Hampi, India

We already saw cows, goats and monkeys playing in the Hampi ruins, so we were not surprised to also see horses there:

Monkeys on the Stairs

A group of aggressive monkeys was blocking the stairs (and our exit route) from Ajanta Caves in India. Luckily, after some time they decided to go on play elsewhere. Before that happened I took these pictures:

Goats at the Temple

The smart dog watching goats from the shade of the temple:

Goats are not shy in the presence of gods:

They only care about their food!

Monkeys in Hampi Temple, India

Not only cows, but also monkeys (and other animals) like to rest in or near Indian temples:

Cows in Hampi

I'm watching you...




In India, the cows not only freely move around on the streets of cities and villages, but they also frequent the temples:

Friends Forever

A message for the New Year: make piece and friends, not war :)

Cows in the Cities

Another classic: Cows on the streets of Indian cities.

Monkey on a Leash

Sadly, the boy on the pictures below had a little monkey with him that he was showing to the tourists in a hope of extorting money. Have no doubt that we did not support his "business".

With all likelihood, the little monkey's mother had to be killed for the boy to take its baby... We tried to explain that to the boy, but neither he understood us, nor he cared.

These photos were taken in Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Karnataka, India:
