Karma

Top pic is of me & my "karma" friend Kojraj - who help me avoid bodily harm. We discussed karma for a very long time & he had a "professional" do my horoscope. He owns a well-known shop in an old, well-preserved Haveli specializing in antique Indian art - many architectural. If you are ever in Jaislamer, I recommend that you visit his shop/Haveli - Jaislamer Art Palace.
Many have asked about India's infamous "sacred cows". There are many roaming every city street. They are considered sacred because Hindus are vegetarians & believe in reincarnation. They scavange food & are fed by locals. To ensure good karma, I say "hello" & pet many of them as you see in bottom pic. Beware - some aren't very friendly!
