Jodhpur Bazaar (part 2)

They do market gates well - gorgeous red sandstone confections.

This was an active temple, with a cafe in the forecourt.

A number of touts kept trying to direct us to the Textile Warehouse (or similar), claiming it was five stories, and sold goods to Prada and Ishka and something and something and something. We never did find it (having refused the kind offers of our would-be guides to take us there), although K&G had been there previously. They noted that it wasn't five stories, and it certainly wasn't all that.

There were lots of shops selling ribbons. Just ribbons. Lots of pretty ribbons.

I don't know why there are so many shops selling ribbons - I wan't particularly aware of them adorning clothes, or hair, or anything else. They may be used for decorating saris and kurtas, but I don't know.

More practically, there were also shops selling ropes.
Yup, just ropes.
And bright fabrics/clothes

And all sorts of other things. I just felt like too much of a rubbernecking tourist to take the photos I should have. Oh well, you'll just have to go yourself to see what else is there!
