We also visited the Ranakpur Jain temple. In India, 80% of the population is Hindu, 15% is Muslim, and the rest are Christian, Buddhist, etc. Less than 1% of the population is Jain which practices non violence towards all beings including animals. They are strict vegetarians. The temple we visited today was built in the 15th century after a local worshiper had a divine intervention. The whole structure is made of marble and the architecture and carvings were unbelievable.

Udaipur to Jodhpur
I thought today would be quiet on the photography front as we traveled from Udaipur to Jodhpur, an approximately six hour drive. I was wrong-we drove through the jungle, saw monkeys, and passed small towns full of vibrant people. We saw farmers and shepherds. Cows hang out in the road even on highways.
