Yes, I'm quite certain you were the odd one here, Graham. I love all the contrast-- of dress, of the bikes and covered wagon, the buildings of brick and of wood and of stucco (?). I think of India as having quite hot weather, yet these gentlemen have jackets and scarves... and candles. What I find interesting is the proprietor of the business where the water spigot stands, he has kept the "porch" dry, the water running around the perimeter. SO much to enjoy here,Graham.

It was winter when I visited with the temperature around a chilly 76-80°F (24-26°C), That's chilly for the Indians but it's a very warm summers day for folks from the UK.
In the summer the temperatures frequently reach 100-102°F (37-38°C). India has had record highs this year, in Rajasthan during May, it reached 123.8°F (51°C) causing devastating water shortages, crop failures and great hardship to farmers.

I wish the computer wouldn't change my words. That was "sandles" as in footwear, not "candles" which makes no sense. Geez

Don't feel bad my S6smartphone does that all the time to. I hate the predictive spelling it uses!
