The Rajasthan circuit - Day 10 - On the way to Jantar Mantar, Jaipur - The 24th of November 2012

As we finished the visit and were heading towards the Jantar Mantar we came across a wedding procession where the groom and other guests wearing the "sherwani" (ethnic dress) proudly rode decorated horses precedeed by a group o musicians and followed by a group of potential friends and relatives singing an dancing.
