Here are a few snapshots from my first week in Rajasthan… They give a glimpse, but do little justice to the splendor and energy of the desert.
Snippits from Jaipur Palaces…
My jaw dropped when I entered this room at Samode Palace… pictures do no justice…
… And I decided I had to match!
Naguar sunset stroll on the fort ramparts…
Wishes made at a Ganesh temple…
And a surprisingly spot-on little fellow…
A desert musician…
Wedding Ganesh, painted on the wall of each home to mark the last marriage in a family… they’re everywhere, but apparently only in Jaisalmer…
A lovely gentleman showing me how fabrics get made…
Checking out local Jaisalmer neighborhoods…
And a gorgeous sunset over the fort…
A packed spice stall in Jodhpur…
More stalls in the local bazaar…
… And many more to come!
