Around Jaipur

Wednesday, 17 September 2014

Just a few of the memorable sights of Jaipur.

Just outside the Amer Fort, these vegetable vendors paid particular attention to setting up attractive displays.
The "pink" building in the background makes it Jaipur (the "pink city"), but this scene could be anywhere in India: Vegetables for sale in the street market, trash, and a cow.
Block printed textiles is a traditional craft in Rajasthan (as well as in Gujarat). The top panel shows a carved wooden block. The middle panel shows a three-color print. The bottom panel shows the resulting colors after they have been "set" into the cotton cloth.
