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