A Few of My Favourites Things
I just cannot leave India without posting two of my favourite pictures of Jodhpur, a city known for its polo and its Brahmin-blue buildings.
Ages ago, the members Brahmin caste in this city painted their homes a vibrant, cerulean blue as a way of distinguishing themselves from the other lower castes, but the others caught on and pretty soon most of the homes were painted the same colour. It’s a little deceiving of the representation of the highest caste in Jodhpur, but particularly beautiful when seen on high from the old fortress of Meherengarh.
Also, this is one of my favourite photos of the rickshaws lined up to ferry visitors from the fort back to the city. To say these vehicles are ubiquitous in India is no exaggeration.
