Last week I visited India for the first International Conference on the Conservation of Sarus Cranes and Wetlands in Uttar Pradesh, at a center about 5 hours from Delhi. We had just one day in the city before heading home. Our hosts took us to this Madrasa and the artist below graciously allowed me to take a photograph of his work in progress.
