Pushkar - Jaipur

Highly frequented in 8970 by the hippies, this city is sacred to the Hindoos and remains for them a place of pilgrimage.
It is here that according to legend a swan was sent by the gods.
He held a lotus in his beak that he had to drop to the exact spot where Brahma was performing his ritual.
The swan dropped the lotus and three petals formed three lakes.

During the full moon of November, after the festival of Diwali, the camel fair is established there for ten days.
The show is worth seeing. The owners and their animals, camels, dromedaries and horses, are settled on the sand in search of buyers.
Our small group walks between the many vendors.
They have decorated their animals, arranged their fur in an artistic way, made them dance acrobatically to demonstrate their many qualities.
It is also an opportunity for small merchants, various memories to pursue tourists through the maze of exhibitors.
A real walkabout where everything happens in a good mood.

In softer mode, but without a doubt beautiful, we head to the Hindu temple, Birla Mandir in Jaipur.
Built by the Birla industry group, it is dedicated to Vishnu and his wife Laxmi.
The white marble building is surmounted by three domes representing different religions. For the visit we are invited to take off our shoes.
We can make all the external photos that we want, but we can only admire the interior richly decorated with mythological scenes.
On the lintels of the facade we notice with surprise the representation of the Hindu deities but also of all religions.
This is how we see Christ, Buddha, Virgin Mary, Confucius etc.

We will live a memorable stage upon our arrival in Jaipur in the early evening.
It's time to get to know Bollywood movies.
Everyone has paid their way and gathered in a big hall, 60 years, before the meeting with popcorn (even here it is necessary).
And then, the movie will begin.
In the movie theater each (a good 8000 spectators) finds his numbered armchair.
Indians are fond of Bollywood actors.
Everything happens in Indian language but we are quickly caught by the plot that unfolds like a kind of pirates of the Caribbean in the country.
We are fascinated by the film but especially by the reaction of the spectators who film with their GSM, hiss, sing, in a word participate in the adventure of their heroes.
