"Pastel Blue" by Jonathan Sage, ,

Colour is a hallmark characteristic of Rajasthan. Jaipur is the pink city; Jodhpur is the blue city; and Jaisalmer the gold city. The golden sandstone of Jaisalmer may be a distinctive material of the region-wide architectural vernacular. However, the decorative pastel blue markings on the doorway convey this inhabitant's unique identity on a local scale within their dense urban surroundings. The coordinating colours of the women's sari and sandals also add to her individuality.
