Nicholas's visit to South Asia - India & Sri Lanka ( then known as Ceylon)
RomanovsFan4Ever:
I wonder if there are some photos of Nicholas during his visit in India and Sri Lanka (Ceylon in that time)...
Since he visited many places there in India, from Bombay (now Mumbay), to Madurai, I'm also curious to know if he visited the famous Khajuraho temple..the "Temple of love", from what I read in the topic about the chronology of his travels, he visited Gwalior, that is in the same state where the Khajuraho temple it's located (Madhya Pradesh now, in that time it was called "Central Provinces" of British India, if I'm not wrong).

I have found the three that Nicholas seeded at Sri Lanka in 1891. (Here).

You can here find some photos of Nicholas and GD Georgiy during March of 1891, during visiting Far East, Siam, and Bangkok. :

I can't find some taken at India/Sri Lanka. :-(
RomanovsFan4Ever:
No problem, thank you anyway!
By the way, I have another question...I wonder if Nicholas wrote something about his visit in India on his diary, (I've read that he kept a diary when he was a Tsarevich too), I'd like to know how was his impression about India of that time.
(I'm currently very interested in India's history and culture...).
nena:
Young Tsarevich indeed kept diary, since he was nine, up to summer of 1918, without a day missed in it. I have never come across any 1891 extract, except the one during Otsu incident in Japan.
hikaru:
The fregate "Pamyaty Azova" came to Colombo 31st January 1891.
His cousins's ship's name was "Tamara". They came to Colombo 3rd of January.Nicholas had to spend at Ceylon 3 days, but, spent more.
I know that in India he was accompanied by Sir Donald Mc.Kenji Walliace and Colonel Gerard.
