Day 28: Jaipur - Bikaner


Amber Castle


Maharadjah Palace


Lining up to worship Shiva and Durga

We spent the morning at Jaipur visiting the castle where an immense line of pilgrims, men on one side, women on the other, came to worship Durga, wife of Civa and mother of Ganesh.
Normaly we get to the castle on an elephant back, due to the number of pilgrims, for security we used jeeps instead. I am not sure the security improved drasticaly.
We then drove to Bikaner, getting deeper in the Rajastan desert, close to the Pakistan border. It is hot, still 43C in the car. For the first time we took some rest in the pool. Refreshing.
