We stayed outside Jodhpur in a village called Narlai and one of the staff from the hotel took us on a village walk showing us around the village and taking us into some family homes.
This village has a population of about 3000 but had over 300 temples! The first we saw was tiny and built into the rock. You had to climb over 100 steps to reach it.
Then we saw another large temple built onto the side of the rock
and then we saw their newest temple built from white marble which was pretty spectacular
Evidently quite a number of families now live in the city and have more money, just returning for holy days. The whole village paid for the new temple which took five years to build.
We also visited three families going into their homes.
Cooking over wood fires is the norm.
The women in this area commonly completely cover their heads with their dupattas.
