Rambling around Jojawar

 

We spent several days in Jojawar, and I had many hours of free time to explore the streets of this small Rajasthani city.  Roaming around Jojawar provided me with some of my favorite time in India.  I could see how average Indian people live, check out their shops and temples, talk with kids, buy some gifts, snacks and souvenirs, and so on.  It was safe and fun.

As with pretty much all of India, cows have the run of the streets of Jojawar.  They go where they want, including inside shops where they sometimes lie down for a rest.  People put food out for them on the streets, a good omen as cows are considered sacred.

There's a few goats here and there, but these seem more utilitarian -- a source of milk and meat -- and were always tethered.

Most interesting were the people.  I talked with many -- at least those who could speak English -- but most didn't mind having their photos taken. Some were sitting around chatting.  Some were shopping or working.

Men in this part of the India are more traditional.  Many wear turbins, now an uncommon site in Delhi or Agra...

Always special to me are the kids.  Happy, fun-loving and curious....
