Rajasthani Villagers

Despite the pretty colorless Rajasthani landscape this land is full of color when it comes to clothing especially the turbans that the men wear. I was in a jeep about 45 minutes outside of the town of Pushkar in a small village when I saw these two men having a chat on the verandah of a home. I took this photo from the jeep which revealed an almost black and white image except for the colorful turban that one of the men wore. We'll look at more turbans in the days to come. Well, this is the photo for day 20th of our month long series of photos on Rajasthan.
