People 45
Jodhpur: As I waited
for the group to catch up, I was invited
by a priest to enter a temple to
Shiva, where a group of
older women were sitting in a horseshoe arrangement,
chanting.
They encouraged -- no, practically demanded -- that I photograph
them, which I did. Then the priest invited me to photograph the
altar
and offered me some rock candy -- I may have committed
a faux pas by eating
the candy rather than offering it to the god --
the situation was
ambiguous.
