Shot from the train. The dirty windows gave this a rustic look.

Shadows and Sunshine
By Siddharth (c) 2009
This is inside a house in a village in Rajasthan, one of the poorest state of India. The sunlight is striped because a part of the ceiling is made of metal rods. The containers seen are called “ghadas” and they keep water clean and cool.
Amrit – II

Water, which is scarce in this part of India (in Rajasthan) is stored in large clay containers (called ghadas) to keep the water fresh and cool.
I saw this in a market in a village. This one is public. It is sustained by a few shop-keepers for all to have.
Notice the swastikas on the supports of the slab? It is a vedic symbol and has nothing to do with the Nazis.

Seen here is a kitchen behind a textured wall where the ghadas lie on a slab.

Doors and passageways in rural Rajasthan, India, are very artsy and almost stuck in time. Such anachronistic work can be seen even in modern buildings.
The Power Of The Wind

These were taken in Rajasthan, India. Do excuse the frame and alignment of the photographs: they were taken from a moving car. These rocks have been shaped by the winds over the past millions of years (while I cannot say for certain that it was the wind, no other explanation fits. Water movement creates very different patters, and besides, this region was not underwater even when Deccan India was separate form the rest of Asia.)
