The Thar Desert

We sleep near Osian, on the edge of the Thar desert. Arriving in the dark we are greeted by fire, music and dancing. Later, in our tent, I drift in and out of sleep listening to the night music of temple and train – beyond us lies the Thar Desert, stretching across to Jaisalmer and down to the Rann of Kutch. I think of Robyn Davidson and her book Desert Places and bow down !

In the morning we visit the Jain temples of Osian
