All Indian doormen look something like this. It's some kind of traditional costume, I think. And they all seem to have moustaches.

Sarees, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

The saree with the orange top is quite unusual in that it has such a large flower pattern. I never get enough of looking at Indian ladies' clothes...it's already reason enough to go to India...

Wedding, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

Gorgeous sarees galore at an Indian wedding. There are musicians and the ladies are carrying something on their heads.

Mehendi on feet, originally uploaded by Pink Lady on the Loose!.

Decorative henna (mehendi) on my feet. It was done for an Indian wedding. It is this colour at first and then gets a bit darker before starting to fade.
