The last day of the tour was a long one: about 5 hours on the bus from Delhi to Agra (and back again.) First we visited one of Tara's artisans, a group of stone carvers. We learned a little about how they work and saw the various stages of cutting, carving & polishing many of the products that we sell such as soapstone elephants and boxes with inlaid decoration.
A couple of pictures:
Cutting stone
Carving elephant bookends
Cutting thin wafers of stone for inlaid decoration on boxes
We then went to visit the Taj Mahal. Words can't do it justice, so here's a picture.
