A tribesman studies me at the Pushkar camel fair where he has come to perhaps buy and sell livestock. Herdsmen from a wide area drive their animals to the town in November and gather for two weeks of bartering, buying and selling.

The Bopa and Kalbeliya are very different but both are called “gypsy” in the local languages. The lowest level in the Hindu caste system, they live without permanent homes and are seen as squatters and hustlers.
Moving from place to place, sleeping beneath the stars on the outskirts of towns, the Bopa and Kalbeliya share the bad reputation of gypsies the world over. Once much sought after by kings and maharajas, they were hired to provide exotic entertainment—the Bopa are talented musicians and singers and the Kalbeliya are dancers and snake charmers. However, as royal audiences disappeared, the Bopa and Kalbeliya gypsies lost much of their livelihood. Today, they subsist as semi-nomadic street performers, traveling between fairs and festivals that draw large crowds

Minimal street style image of a Man working on the overhead power cables in the desert of Pushkar, Rajasthan, India.
Pushkar è una città incantata, dalle case coloratissime nel quartiere del mercato, e bianchissime quelle che si affacciano sul lago, il fulcro di tutto....Secondo la tradizione, il lago sarebbe nato da una lacrima di Brama, una delle più venerate divinità induiste, e qui si trova l’unico tempio a lui dedicato nel mondo. Pushkar è una sorta di Mecca.... un pellegrinaggio da fare almeno una volta nella vita.
Per i fedeli, un luogo di preghiera e purificazione di tale spessore non deve essere contaminato da cose «inquinate»,
quindi la città è completamente vegetariana, assolutamente vietato importare carne e uova.
E' anche una città estremamente silenziosa: le macchine sono proibite, il mezzo di locomozione più diffuso è la bicicletta, con pochi scooter, risciò e pochissimi touk touk, gli Ape a tre ruote.
