Streets of Udaipur - Early Morning

The next morning we engaged in one of my favorite activities while traveling in a new town - wandering the streets. In the chilly early morning, most of the shops were still shuttered and streets quiet. Men huddled on benches and chatted, wearing shawls, scarves, and stocking caps. A few sheep wandered through the street, sporting burlap bags as protection from the cold. In a long narrow opening barely wider than the frame, an elderly Muslim man patiently stitched zari designs onto a red sari. A construction woman instructed her donkey to stop while she texted a message. Women began bringing out baskets of fresh flowers to sell in front of small temples.
