While strolling along the cities of Rajasthan, I found myself admiring the people of Rajasthan too. Especially the women, they wear bright outfits, colors like brilliant red, vibrant yellows and oranges, lively greens and dazzling blues. Women are a symbol of creation and that is why they wear colorful attires. Men wear white because it is symbolic of cleanliness and austerity.

Most women keep their face covered and are shy to speak. Not all were willing to pose for me; still I managed to get some reasonably good shots. They are known for their love for silver jewelry. The ornaments signify their marital status. Earlier those broad white bangles were made of ivory or camel bones, embellished with gold, precious and semiprecious stones. Now they are made of plastic.

The exquisite designs in their jewelry are a rage not only for the Indian ladies but also for foreign lady tourists. I too picked up some pieces of ornaments.

Men of Rajasthan too wear jewelry, but I found their pagaris (turbans) more interesting. Practically their head gear serves the purpose of protecting their head from the scorching heat. It is also the most important part of their attire. The color of the turban and the style of tying it indicate his caste and the region to which he belongs.
Tying the turban is a specialized art. There are professional tiers who make roaring business during the marriage season and festival times just by tying pagaris.

Some of them wear bangles on the neck too- I am not sure how they are inserted… do they take it off or are they permanent? must be very inconvenient to keep them on all the time..
The pictures depict the culture of INDIA. It says the INDIA is colourful and it’s people are also colourful. Excellent
Hi brilliant pics. How do you do it. Two hurdles to overcome, one is the self consciencesness and other is the subject feeling too awkward -if willing at all !
Enjoyed the first one the mpost though.
The esence of travel photography is getting the local people in the frame….

Thanks for the comment, Shrinidhi. I am not sure if they wear bangles in neck. If they do it will be definitely inconvenient.

This is ok. you should not to see only rural rajasthan. On the other side rajasthan have so many development in all area and in jaipur work trade park is also show development level at internation level. Rural is not identity of rajasthnan. it was past not present. It is human tendancy that always negativity has more privileges than appriciation.
