When traveling on camel through the Thar Desert near Jaisalmer, India, the typical palette is rather neutral in color. On the second day, we visited some small villages. The architecture and scene reminded me so much of Mali, West Africa, and yet it had a distinctively Rajasthani touch to it. In the sandy yard occupied by domestic animals, a young woman came out to greet us. Although quite shy, her brilliantly colored floral dress provided an exciting contrast and conversation against the scene we had experienced over the last day and a half.
