I had a private car and driver. These photos were taken at various spots along the road. ![Street scene, Rajasthan](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-1.jpg) Street scene, Nawalgarh ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-2.jpg) Street scene, Nawalgarh ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-3.jpg) Woman drying cow dung ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-25.jpg) A wedding procession in Bikaner after dark ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-4.jpg) Road in Rajasthan ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-5.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-6.jpg) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-7.jpg) Roadside scenes ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f7/c4/f7c4338c-1a69-4369-8416-8d74c9880bb6/content/images/2019/09/rajasthan-9.jpg) Wherever you look there are walls or fences.
