A ruggedly handsome, turban-clad Rajasthani man.

It's not only the women that grab your attention in Rajasthan. Often the men have an appeal of their own for their other-era looks. Turban attributes such as color and style symbolize so many different things, I doubt even Indian men would find it easy to explain it all.

Passersby (Ratha I) Photo: Each full moon, Brahmins climb aboard the small ratha (chariot) to be pulled down the street by a throng of Gokarna villagers, accompanied by drummers and musicians. Once a year, during the festival of Shivarathri, Brahmins cram into the large ratha pulled through a swarm of humanity, the likes of which is only typically be seen in India.
Gokarna, Karnataka, India
Accepting Alms Photo: Within the walkway of Angkor Temple. (Please someone correct me if I'm wrong) I believe this is a female monk accepting alms to light a stick of incense at the feet of a headless idol. I'm not confident enough to call it a Buddha statue considering the Angkor temples were originally created by Hindus. If my Khmer (Cambodian language) were a bit more fluent - or existent - I would've asked the woman myself.
