Jodhpur

Jodhpur from the hotel. That is Umaid Bhavan in the background

The local Hotel Association had organised an event for foreign tourists. There was a turban tying competition too, plus a tug-of-war

Mooch nahin tho Kooch nahin.... I think this guy is always on call to unwind his mooch which is curled on his cheeks
I had asked the shopkeeper if I could get a taste of this which looked like it was made of sugar. He said no. Its called 'Karva' and is part of the offering made by women on Karva Chauth.

There was also a Marwar Festival going on at the same time - organised by the government. The venue was used to promote voter registration.The 'Sarod Brothers' played' Later overhead a comment 'they played to the crowd' Whats wrong with that?
