Modes of Transport - India Part Two
After the post on transport in India I couldn't resist sharing the photos below. They were all taken at this beautifully decorated tomb outside of Jaisalmer, which we visited a few years ago.
Cenotaph outside Jaisalmer, Rajasthan |
The light was beautiful during our visit and I was so taken by the naturalistic feel of the designs. Though at the time I did wonder why I felt so compelled to take the photos. In the first one I love the fact that the couple in the sedan chair are so small, perhaps they're being carried by giants? The second also has the lover's motif, but I particularly like the horses pulling the carriage. To me all three of them convey a sense of movement, as if the figure could walk or drive right through the boundaries that confine them, aren't they wonderful?

It was in October or November which is a great time to visit Rajasthan, after the rains but not too hot.
