In the middle of nowhere

After Jodhpur we drove south to a small village and stayed in a super nice havalei. I had a gorgeous massage and we went out that night on a local village safari. Basically to see how Sheppard villagers still live today. I felt weird doing this. Kinda intrusive though they were just as interested in us, and the girls even had the cheek to comment on how my skirt and scarf didn’t match. Here I was just trying to be culturally sensitive and cover my shoulders. After that I took it off. Just shows you that no matter where you are in the world, girls in groups can be real bitches. (they obviously weren't really offending me but it was still an interesting insight)
Awesome shots though… I especially love the ones of the kids

The Jain temple of XXXXXX (i'll get back to you with this) Dates back to the 15th century. The Jain temples are dedicated to different Jain Tirthankaras or hermits. Various animal or human figures are carved on the marble walls in the famous dilwara style. This one was nestled in the middle of no-where and was so beautiful. All marble and carved to perfection.

The colour scheme was gorgeous. Lots of orange and blue with painted murals with mirrors.
