A business trip took Jason to India for 2 weeks in the spring of 2005. During his visit, he was able to visit the ruins of an ancient city called Hampi which is roughly 6 hours by car northwest of Bangalore near the city of Hospet. A magnificent set of temples located near the towns of Halebeedu and Belur were also visited. Of course a trip to India wouldn't be complete without a visit to the Taj Mahal, and to top it off, a special visit to see the Taj under a full moon.
