Rajasthani women’s attire
July 18, 2011 • Photography & Travel
The women in Rajasthan are always elegantly and colorfully draped in saris or ghaghra cholis. These silk or cotton saris are often embroidered to enhance their look giving it a touch of finesse that can often denote a person of wealthier resources. The embroideries are done with gold or silver threads and sometimes even incorporating semi precious stones as well. The less well-to-do in the community will however use colored stones, silken threads or such to create the floral embroidery to add a touch of class to the sari.
Day eight in our month long series of photos on Rajasthan. This photo was taken in a remote home about 45-minutes outside the village of Khejarla.
Our 16-day meditation retreat through Rajasthan, India, in Oct/Nov of this year will see us spend one night in the village of Khejarla staying at the former maharaja’s palace. Join our spiritual adventure and explore with us the fascinating and enchanting land of Rajasthan.
