Relaxing in Pushkar

This is a short post, since Jenna and I have been traveling rapidly through several cities over the past few days. Earlier this week, we stopped in Pushkar, a small community in central Rajasthan with a holy lake at its center. There were more than 100 temples in the town. The restaurants ran on strict vegetarian menus, and Pushkar's spiritual aura seemed to attract the wayward neo-hippie set of Western traveler. Still, Jenna and I enjoyed ourselves. Here are some pictures:

One of many shiva lingams to be seen in Pushkar. If the shape looks rather familiar, it is because the shiva lingam is a...ahem...symbol of fertility to Hindus.
