Shopping in Jaipur




India produces beautiful cotton fabrics. Here are a few examples of soft white cotton shirts and night dresses. Today I'm off to look at block printed textiles in traditional Mughal designs. I will take plenty of photos.

Jaipur is called "The Pink City" because of the color of the buildings. Traffic is always challenging with
 rikshaws, motor bikes, cows, camels, and plenty of cars (and horn honking) and people all sharing the roads

Some pretty floral cottons
