Moving on from Taj Mahal, my travel buddy and I found ourselves in Ajmer where a popular Sufi shrine is located. We ended this part of the trip in Pushkar which is known for its public bathing ghats.

On the street of Ajmer, a man tries to feed a money on the wall.

We got kicked out for taking photos. It’s apparently frowned upon to take pictures of people bathing in public.

“Make me a model, Chinese man!”
