Jodphur, Salt Mines, Bishnoi Village Life

The busy bazaars of Jodphur dazzle with vividly clad Rajasthani tribal women haggling for bangles. In contrast, down the quiet back streets of the old city, is the serene coolness of the blue houses. The salt mines of Baap Rin are a stark, silent, white expanse, tended by a handful of workers in the desolate Thar Desert. A Bishnoi village, a long camel cart ride through the desert, is the place to learn about the strength of a community, the importance of water and to take part in a traditional opium ceremony.

Unusual delicacies are on offer and the highly pungent labyrinth of one of the largest wholesale spice market in Asia, beckons the soul of a chef. There's a glimpse into the spirit of a compassionate religion, in the communal kitchens of a Sikh temple where enough food is cooked to nourish tens of thousands of pilgrims each day.

Spice

The Malabar Coast is home to essential ingredients in every Indian meal.

The daily cardamom auctions, where buyers and sellers converge in a spirited display of commerce, are fast and heady. The history of spice can be seen in the architecture, and the infinite variety of its uses, are both a tonic and an inspiration.

Mumbai, the city that nobody wanted, where famed Dabbawallahs perform the daily ritual of getting thousands of home-cooked meals delivered to the right offices, and make it into the Guinness Book of Records. Not to be confused with the Dhobbiwallahs who seem to wash the clothes of the entire city in a gigantic open laundry. The day ends with a promenade and a feast of snack food enjoyed at the nightly carnival-on-the-sand, at Juhu.
