Here are my 120 images from the All India Oracle User Group (AIOUG) OCYatra in India in July 2023. We visited 6 cities over the span of two weeks. Really cool tour. Really brutal tour. I did a session contributing to Open Source projects. Also, here are more conference images from each city from AIOUG: Chennai, Bangalore, Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad.
