For my first trip to Shimla, I took Kalka Mail from Delhi to Kalka. After an overnight journey, I reached the sleepy little station of Kalka around 5.30 in the morning. From Kalka I had one of the most beautiful train journeys one can have. The journey, some 90-KM long, was done in a toy train.

While I am not Hindu, nor do I participate in any of the ceremonies, it is still fun and interesting learning about the different ceremonies and watching the people prepare for them.

Leaving the Stoa of Attalos through the doorway at its southwest corner, we ascend a few steps, cross the street that led eastward from the ancient Agora to the Market of Caesar and Augustus (the Roman Agora) and immediately find ourselves in the Library of Pantainos.

Many of the stones from the Library were re-used in the fortification wall of the 3rd century after Christ, a well preserved section of which still overlies the west porch of the Library.
