We headed back to Jaipur and arrived at the Sarovar Portico. This was a very nice hotel in Jaipur, and because India's Independence Day is tomorrow the security and check in process was very secure. We needed to have a copy of our passports faxed over to the hotel, otherwise we would not be able to stay there. Luckily we got them faxed within the 2 hours they gave us. This could of been a huge error, but thankfully we diverted it.
I began to wonder how the religion's of India were divided. This is what I was able to find:
Muslim 10%
Hindu 75 - 80 %
Buddhist 2%
Sikh 2%

- A sect of Hindu - Jain 1%
Buddhist 2%
Sikh 2%
- The interesting thing about Sikh's is that they make up about 30% of the military. The oldest son is usually registered with the army - a very proud time for the family.
My favorite quote so far "There is always more room."
Over the next few days we would be celebrating India's Independence Day, travling to the Amber Fort and Nahargarh Fort, seeing a 250 ton cannon, taking elephant rides, and attending a tradition farming community dinner at Choki-Dani (like an American Renaissance Festival).
