For men in Rajasthan the best way to stand out is having a beautiful colourful turban or a large curly, often comical moustache. Double whammy if you have both. Their pride in these two swells at the prospect of posing for a picture and it’s just pure delight to take pictures of them. At the imposing Fort towering over the blue city all the guards are dressed in beautiful swirling red and yellow turbans, and traditionally white trousers and tunics. To us, the 18 degree heat is sometimes as good as it gets on a summers day in Cornwall, but here it’s galloping into winter, so thick body warmers are worn. I’m sure they are competitive about their moustaches, as you can catch them out of the corner of your eye preening the curls at the tip of the moustache, to make sure that they are in tip top condition. I was even asked to be in a selfie with a group of them, and I don’t even have a moustache ....
