Pilgrim's progress

Sitting on a train at Jaipur Junction a gentleman kindly allows me to photograph him and raises his celebratory staff for full effect.

 

The train is a MG service to Sikar and, judging by the ribbons, I'm guessing he's heading to the week-long Hindu Festival being held near Ringas - the destination for thousands of pilgrims during our visit last week, many of whom were making the journey on foot.

 

This was my second visit in the last 5 months courtesy and thanks to Don Gatehouse (www.flickr.com/photos/lickeybanker/) for another superbly coordinated trip.
