Thanks Ailsa (http://wheresmybackpack.com/2013/02/08/travel-theme-gaudy/) for giving me the opportunity to revisit Rajasthan and find some of my favourite images! I tend to wear bright colours too, I often wonder why Westerners are usually so dull, especially business people. Do you know???
Great photographs you’ve taken! :)
Brilliant!
I love all of these Christine and I think we went to the same places! I didn’t buy a sari, but I have several salwar kameez sets that I wore all the time I was there.
they look so elegant! i bought one in nepal but the top had very tight sleeves so only wore the pants … do you wear yours now?
lovely photos..
Lovely photos, Christine. The colours here in the south are not so ‘flashy” (that’s the word here!) as up in the North. Of course they represent happiness/joyfulness (amongst other things). Lucid Gypsy, if you wear jeans, use your s.k. tops, cut short a bit just to your b…., that way you make use of them back home. Carina
