 This is one of my favorite pictures from the entire trip , the image has been cut by the image uploader .‬
‪During the drive from Jaisalmer back to Jodhpur ,we came across this huge herd of camels .The herd was taken care of ,by‬
‪a group of kids .There was this old man who was the in charge[manager ?‬ ‪] of the group . of the All the camels were she-camels domesticated for there‬milk,wool and breeding purpose.the camel milk is supposed to be very nutritious and high in protein .We were so excited to see the herd , the kids were equally excited and curious to see us .Taking advantage of the situation was this baby camel who ran to his mama for some milk .The baby camel was shooed away by the old man and then he started milking the camel.He then gave it to the girl in the picture below .This girl was the youngest one in the group .The old man wanted to know what am I going do with the pictures which I was taking . I was quite unprepared for the question , to which i replied "apne sherhr mein dosto ko dikhayenge yeh " ..
After the little girl finished drinking the milk, her elder sister took the bowl from her and cleaned it with sand(no water ),that was so amazing the bowl was literally squeaky clean .

Jaisalmer is also known as golden city .Jaisalmer Fort is the largest inhabited forts in the world.The fort is not just historic monument but actually inhabited too. How cool is that ,historic monument for a house ,I was so thrilled about this whole concept . We actually caught hold of few locals and enquired about how much a haveli will cost .. haha .. This picture was taken in a haveli called patwon ki haveli.

I kept following the women for the perfect shot .She is a sweeper at the Jaisalmer temple , the rich hues for her dress were
a perfect contrast against the golden walls of the temple .
