Pre Holi Celebrations

On the day before Holi festival, some locals couldn’t resist opening up their bags of dyed cornflower, and making the world a more colorful place.This group of men were quite reserved with their pink / yellow combination. Things would be a lot wilder the following day.

Easter in India

There are some things I didn’t expect to see while traveling in India. A man dressed as Jesus, carrying a cross down the street was one. The fact that a second Jesus with bright orange hair was walking just behind him made the scene all the more surreal.

Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan

Mehrangarh Fort, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, one of the largest and most impressive forts in India. It’s quite a hike to make your way from the old town, up through maze of walls and gateways, to the top of the fort. It is worth remembering, that some who attempted this jaunt ended up impaled on spikes, showered with boiling oil, shot with arrows, and / or  hacked, cleaved or decapitated.
