Through a beautiful sculpted Hindu archway, I gaze over the Aravalli Hills that litter the Rajasthani landscape. The hills stretch approximately 560 km from northeast to southwest Rajasthan, and then continue as isolated hills and ridges into the state of Haryana (formerly part of the state of Punjab) and near Delhi. The highest point is on Mt Abu, and is known as Guru Shikar. It rises 5653 feet (1.72 km). The hill range is further divided into the Sambhar-Sirohi and the Sambhar-Khetri ranges. The peaks of the Aravalli Hills are famous for their white peaks, formed not by snow, but by large masses of rose coloured quartz. / __ Dedicated to Marnie Kaur Sidhu, a friend who helped me through picking a new domain/flickr name (and helped me name a business in the past) :) / : at Jaigarh Fort, Jaipur, Rajasthan.
-
A beautiful chhatri structure at the Jaigarh fort, situated at the end of a pretty, colourful and lush courtyard. Although this fort was a strictly military structure when designed, it would not have been possible for the creators to not incorporate some aesthetically pleasing components into the overall complex. This is especially appreciated when one looks out of the chhatri (a feature of Rajput Hindu architecture) and witnesses the view over Amber Fort, Amber, and Jaipur. We were lucky to have a relatively bright and clear sky early this morning.

A row of arches overlooking the hills, Amber Fort; Jaipur, Rajasthan. This fort served as the capital for the Maharajas of this region, until Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh felt that the time was right to start a new city, which he named after himself – Jaipur. His reasoning was based on the fact that he had entered into an agreement with the fierce Mughal rulers based in nearby Agra (now in Uttar Pradesh) to marry his daughter to a prince – this lead to peace, and him being the Commander of the Mughal Army. As Mughal power waned he felt it was safe to expand his kingdom and seat of power. There are a number of forts in Jaipur including the older Jaigarh Fort, next to this one, and the newer City Palace which was established once the city was built. Part of this palace is also open to the public and the current (titleless) Maharaja resides there when he is not in the UK.

Internal courtyard of City Palace – the current residence of the Royal family of Jaipur. The current Maharaja (although officially titleless) resides here for part of the year, and in London for the other part. Part of the complex is open for visitors, and this is a way the family can maintain their properties. The main structure in the background, in white, is the residence. The flag is the royal flag of Jaipur’s Maharajas. As their status was above an ordinary Maharaja (as Sawai Maharajas – ‘quarter more genius than a genius’ as our Jaipur guide, Jaimini Shastri put it) there are two flags – the main flag, and the quarter flag. This latter flag is only flown when the Maharaja is in Jaipur and in residence. The white multitiered structure arising from the red walls is the Chand Mahal – Moon Palace. This is where the Royal Family live today.

Most of my photos are of people, though I won’t put many up here as I feel most people let me take their photo because it was for TEAR, not for me to show off my photography skills here… but i figured this one was sufficiently random. This lady is living in the desert in Rajasthan nearish to Jodphur, and is participating in a project support TEAR Australia. There is so much to see in this one image… the culture in her dress, the stories in her face, not to mention some beaut light

Found them at a handicrafts shop in Udaipur. There were so many of them hung along a rod. These three looked like they were sticking together afraid of getting lost in the huge crowd of dolls. They are basically wooden structures with carvings of just the nose. The eyes and other facial features are painted with bright colors. Women then stick colorful stitched clothes around them and add various jeweleries too. Shot with Canon DSLR. / Lens EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS / As is.
