Madonna ends 10-day visit to India

Mumbai, Jan 11: Pop Diva Madonna got a taste of Mumbai's melting pot of culture when she stopped by at the city's oldest Jewish synagogue, a Afghan church and Haji Ali Dargah capping a ten-day visit to the country.

On an extended New Year break in India, the 49-year-old 'Material Girl" flew out of the country after spending her holiday in the desert towns of Rajasthan and Mumbai. Accompanied by her husband Guy Ritchie and children she arrived in Udaipur on December 31.

During the whistle-stop tour of the metropolis on the third day of her visit, the singer also headed to Moshe's restaurant located at upmarket Cuffe Parade for some Mediterranean food. On Tuesday, she savoured some south Indian delicacies like idli, vada and masala dosa for lunch at a road-side Udupi eatery.

'Shantaram' author Gregory David Robert accompanied the celebrities on their tour which culminated in a visit to his home at Khola Gada.

A priest at the heritage Afghan church said the singer was impressed by its structure.

"She was amazed at the structure of Afghan church. She read out the names of soldiers who died in Afghan war during 1838-43. She really liked the church," said priest Sunil Awale.
