Jaipur, India

I went to India for three weeks 

First place I visited was Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan

Jaipur is called Pink city and it  was founded in 18 century

City is surrounded by fort and there are many historical buildings

The gate of City palace
It was interesting for me that many people visit this place and feed doves
There were plenty of food for doves
If I was born as a dove in my next life, I want to born in this place

Chai shop in the morning
Most of the chai seller must be using the same ingredient
tea leaves, water, milk, sugar and ginger in winter
But each man has different taste and there are several chai seller
that many people always get together







Before Holy

This year Holy was 17th of March
Before that, performance and pray were going on in the temple
many people came to pray and enjoy

Vegetable market 

There was a vegetable market close to my house

I was surprised that many flowers were sold 

I like walking through the market because I can see many cows eating vegetables 

and some of the men always give me one good smelling flower

I heard that many people buy flowers to give to temple

Flowers had strong but good smell
Many Marigolds and some red and white roses

Busy father vegetable  seller
Different from Vietnam and Cambodia,  many shops were run by men in India

But there were a few strong women that sell fresh vegetables
Coriander seller

Indians know the capacity and they try their best to reach to its maximum 

Naan seller

They were Muslims and they gave me naan with delicious mutton curry

I was surprised that there were many Muslims 

They were making great non-veg curry and biryani

Naan maker was keeping naan separate for cow and when the cow came,
 cow ate them for granted
This human- animal relationship is really different from Japan
I have lot to learn from this country  

Morning work, carrying fresh green chick pea
Different from cow, I felt little bit sorry for horses in India
They were hard worker, usually lean and looked quite tired

Ready for school
Jaipur was still cold in the morning
Many boys and girls came to say good morning on the way to their school
India is a great country
but I wish many boys and girls get chance to see other world in their future
to just get a new idea

Hanging
I wanted one of them but could not get it
They are charming

Tal Katora in the evening
Big water reserve near the city palace
When I see the water place, I felt like I can imagine the life of people in kingdom era
Nowadays people were working to clean the pond
