RAJASTHAN TRIP

18.08.14 : Jaiselmer

After breakfast of Alu Parathas with dai and of course omelette, we drove off to Jaiselmer  from Jodhpur (5 hrs) journey. Roads are good. Our driver halted at OM BANNA Bullet Baba temple located in Chotila village of Pali district near Jodhpur, Bullet Baba temple is a temple plus memorial. Here a Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle is worshipped. On way we got to see colourful ]people, carrying flags, young & old, men and women all walking miles and miles towards the RamdevTemple. Ramdev Pir is a Hindu folk deity of Rajasthan in India. He was a ruler of the fourteenth century, said to have miraculous powers who devoted his life for the upliftment of downtrodden and poor people of the society. He is worshiped today by many social groups of India . His followers believe him to be an incarnation of Vishnu. He is revered by Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs.[1Jaiselmar is a desert city. We stayed in a hut with basic amenities. They offered us camel ride to the dunes where we sat and watched the sunset.  Night we enjoyed watching local musician n dance n local veg cuisine. Our tour guide surprised us with birthday cake for Kern and it was fun for all of to sing and  enjoy the moment. We slept under open sky with stars,  on Katiyas covered with rasiyas, cool night on the dunes n awoke to the sounds of screeching of peacocks n twittering of birds. It was wonderful to watch the sunrise in the morning.  This was one of the beautiful stay in our trip.
