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:

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

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:
