Delwara Village, Rajasthan

We had explored the village nestled below the Samode Palace near Jaipur when we stayed there and found  the people there were living as though in the middle ages.  So we decided to explore the village nestled at the bottom of the Devi Garh Fort Palace to see if all these villages were the same.

Happily we found that the people living here seemed to have a slightly higher standard of living. The village was much cleaner, and the people seemed happier.
With better work occupations......

Making chappatis........

Sewing..........

Waste water still ran in trenches at the side of the street............

And fresh water was pumped...............

And of course they had the inevitable animals wandering around..

This was one of the few places where we were not hassled to buy!! Apparently about 40 villagers are employed by the hotel and I think they were under orders not to hassle guests.
Not very much traffic on the streets but what there was, was interesting!

As were the various modes of transporting goods!

The bicycle was probably the most popular means of transport around the village......

And there were some nice buildings...........
