I don't usually make a habit out of photographing toilets, but this is different enough from typical American bathrooms that it is worthy of discussion.
We are looking at a traditional Indian toilet. Most places you visit have a more western 'seat', but if you are traveling or staying in an older house, you'd better be prepared to use one like this. For perspective, I've been coming here for months and only recently encountered the need to utilize a facility similar to the one pictured here.
Note the lack of toilet paper. This is strictly a B.Y.O.P affair. Also, bring your own hand sanitizer too. Many toilets of the 'ground-level' variety do not have a flush-tank. You flush by pouring water in the hole. This is a luxury model.
I just realized while typing that having any kind of toilet may be considered a luxury to some. Bushes work well enough in many parts of the world.
