First Dan Cruickshank visits India: durga at Kolkata, the traded spices of the port-city Cochin, the Meenakshi temple at Madurai, the Jantar Mantar astronomical observatory in Jaipur and the Taj Mahal mausoleum at Agra, a Mughal era capital. Then he crosses to the island of Sri Lanka (the former Ceylon) for visits to Sigiriya, the giant Buddha statue at Polonnaruwa and Buddha's Tooth reliquary in the old royal capital Kandy.
