Today it's all about men

in red, yellow, green, saffron, orange, multi coloured turbans

if you are in Pushkar this is a must to get pictures of

different colours, different styles, different lengths, you name it

Pushkar is the place where you find them all (almost)

so here goes

a medley of "my" men in the desert

I totally love all the earrings.....

amazing adventures I get to go on

Early morning at the trainstation in Pushkar

is not so full of colours or life apparently

usually it's hectic, busy and chaotic around a train station 24-7 in India 

not here because there haven't been any trains coming or leaving Pushkar since they built the station

( 2 years ago ! )

but we where told that from that day ( last monday ) there will be daily trains from Ajmer,

which is about 10 km away by car,

one to Pushkar in the morning and one returning to Ajmer in the afternoon !

 we where told that the sunrise would be at 5.52 but guess what ?

yes, it was about 7.15 when we finally saw that sun coming up behind the mountains

it was beautiful though and 

 I did have a great morning with my new friends

seems like they spell Pushkar a little differently....Pukhraj

an almost quiet fair ground...almost with the exception of  the mosque calling out for prayers

"here comes the sun little darling"

it was us, these three dogs and

some children

three happy early birds: Anke, Lara and MiDo

Colourful women at Pushkar fair

thought I'd show you some of the colourful women I met at the fair in Pushkar

it's like a colour explosion

so far from the black and white Sweden I come from

but then we don't have any desert where we need clothes that stand out to be seen

pink, white, coral and purple arm bangles for these happy married ladies

wow ! just look at that necklace and headpiece

seemed like the women where in charge of getting new tools

in the making for selling

selling food for the cattle

such cute feet

morning snack...sugar cane

in the stadium while we where waiting for some performance I met this happy crowd

(had to use my flash so the pictures are what they are.....)

encounters I will never forget
