That's interesting - never noticed that, but then, I didn't look for it.

I can't be sure, offisapup, but I suspect this is the shop you're thinking of – it runs along most of the streetside of the temple. As you can see, it isn't the same (nor are any of the others, much more poorly lighted, in our other photos). There are some similarities of color and detail, of course – that's what got us going on Almora in the first place. But, alas, to think that it's #2350 is just krazy, kat.

All we were really after when we started was Connaught Place, and we thought the columns seen through the windows would be the critical clue.
Didn't even think we'd be able to learn the name of the shop, though block and radial seemed easy enough.

Since what I thought it was wasn't really what it was but somewhere near where it was and you had already guessed where it was, I concede.

I was also really impressed with aarosh noticing, and then using, the school uniform as a clue. Well done aarosh!

I was glad to see that you go back to look at old posts here. I've been wondering if people do that. As we are running out of our attachment allotment, I've been contemplating deleting old photos from here but I am loathe to do so. Thanks for showing me that old still matters.
