Sorry - these photos are a couple days out of date. Jodhpur is known as the "blue city" (one of four colour-named cities in Rajasthan) - which the first two photos surely demonstrate is apropos. Blue used to signify the house of a Brahman, but apparently now everyone does it. They were both taken from Mehrangarh (the main fort featured in the next post).
The other three photos are at Jaswant Thada, a memorial about a click from the fort.
What is the story of the man with the gun? Is he a guard of some kind?
ReplyDeleteNow I look again I wonder if it is a gun or if it is a musical instrument. Hard to see but I don't have my glasses with me.
ReplyDeleteIt's an instrument. That being said, there are men with guns (e.g., AK 47s and double-barrel shotguns) all over the place.
