Pushkar to Chittogargh Our ride out of Jaipur, took us further out through the district where we had been staying. Only seconds up the main road we passed another poverty stricken section of town, narrowly dodging a small donkey struggling along slowly, with two of its legs tied together with rope. Must be a 'runner'. A line of huts constructed with spare plywood, tarpaulin and crumbling brickwork clung to the edge of the road in front of a blackened drainage sy...

Jaipur - In Sickness and in Health The ride to Jaipur was long and still relatively industrious in terms of scenery along the way. It was almost dark when we reached the Gurdwara in Jaipur, only to find we were refused for what we suspected as being foreigners.

An easy straight road, we'd allowed lots of time to be able to deal with the chaotic traffic getting across New Delhi at rush hour and figured that we would take a stop just past Mathura to look at some temples surrounding Shiva's birthplace, its physical location determined only a few years ago from a long and in depth study of historical texts and artifacts. We paused briefly along the highway to...
