What eat in my Photo Tour in Rajasthan
Photographing the Rajasthan and Varanasi without eating Local food is a grave sin. In fact, it would be an incomplete photography tour. Indeed during this day we will taste amazing ethnic food recipes. So any photographers will be delighted to explore the gastronomic delights in this exotic state. It is home to dominant flavors as the climate here is arid which allows for the production of famous Indian spices used in the various iconic dishes made here.Thus the culinary style of the region to a great extent shaped up according to the bellicose lifestyle of the natives. Unavailability of a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits and other ingredients and scarcity of water due to the arid nature of the region has profound effect on the cooking style of the locals.

The second city of Rajasthan formed by princely palaces, forts and temples. The city is known as the “City of the Sun” for its bright and sunny weather throughout the year. It was founded by Rao Jodha, a chief of the Rathore clan, in 1459. Our photographic tour will focus on the small streets in the oldest part characterized by the blue color of the house and its life. Visited different enclaves such as the city market and its clock tower. Then we head to the fortress of Mehrangarh and Jaswant Thada.

Pushkar is one of the oldest pilgrimage sites of the Hindus, famous for having the only temple dedicated to Lord Brahma. We will visit the famous Brahma You Temple where you can take a sacred bath in Pushkar Lake to eliminate all your sins, such as scripts in Hindu mythology.

Varanasi
The Photography Tour Rajasthan can be extended to Varanasi. In fact,the city is located on the west bank of the river Ganges between the tributaries, the Varuna and the Asi. Hence its name. Along the river countless temples rise where devotees and pilgrims plunge into the waters in their daily ablutions while a few meters away the litanies that accompany the corpses to be cremated. Walk through the ghat where cremations are made, There we will take a boat to see the “puja” or offering made at sunset from the river.
