What attracted me most in the fort were the local women selling their wares sitting on the footpath and steps of the fort. They add lot of colour and make the surroundings lively with their presence. It is difficult to miss these lovely ladies.
Check my earlier post on Jaisalmer fort.
They deck up very well, wear vibrant colours with a vermilion in their hair parting; a symbol of married women among Hindu community, the head is also covered with bright cloth , quite matching to their whole costume. They also wear heavy jewellery around their neck, head, nose and anklets on legs. With a bright smile they coax customers to buy from them.
I was captivated by their charm and got permission from them to take a few pictures.
My Memoirs 
“A very nice and additional post on Jaisalmer where you have written about the well decked and enthusiastic local women selling their wares mostly knickknacks. The photos taken with their permission give the feel of a walk in the precincts.
I really loved taking to those women. I told over of the women she is very pretty. What she told touched my heart. She said “Sundar hone se kya fayda.bahut garib hoon”
Ye bech kar kaamm chapati hoon.
Very nice way of presenting fifferent emotions
Thank you so much. Those moments were v special.
