Havelis of Jodhpur
Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India has its characteristic blue- the indigo that reminds me of laundry blue (or neel, as we used to call it in India) that was supposed to make whites bright, but often just turned them blue. It is not the color of all Jodhpur, only prevalent in Old city. As people try to keep up with maintenance of their old havelis (the city was founded in 1459, the havelis probably are newer, still, they seem to have housed multiple generations of families many of them dating 18th century).
Here are some of the photos of these wonderful witnesses of history, life’s joys and sorrows and celebration of them all. Only one of the two places I visited in India earlier this year.. this one is in the west of the country, close to our only desert..
Thought of these photos seeing this weeks photochallenge.. Hopefully will have others before the week is up!
Cocky peacock
He had no reason to dance. His peahen was already ‘taken’ by him. Will post the peahen sometime soon.
I was surprised to see him and his friends, in an island in the Andamans, Ross island which is basically a collection of ruins of British Barracks from 1930s., one of the small roads connecting different parts of military settlements, ended right where you see this peacock.
On this road, this peacock was spectacular.
The Road Taken
Another turban at work- traditional Hookah in photography
This was in Mehrangarh fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan. I believe this guy is a closer look at the traditional Rajasthani and their hookah.
Colored glass and Rajasthani turban
Mehrangarh fort, Jodhpur. Guards dressed in traditional clothing. He was trying to look like a part of the fort, he did quite well.
