This photo was taken at Bhangarh which is an abandoned village built duing the 17th century in Rajasthan. The site has mainly a Moghul influence which is clearly central asia. There are a few inhabitants in the village but for the most part, it stands alone alongside the many monkeys and temples. It was literally deserted overnight after an event which involved "Black Magic." Apparently, superstition was rampant so there are plenty of urban legends which are still present. The mountains are vast which means it also sits high. above sea level - approx. 5,000ft. It get pretty chill in the evening so if you ever go, bring warm clothes. What really sets Rajasthan apart is: 1) It includes one of the most beautiful resorts in all of India (Amanbagh); 2) It's a photographers dream with the scenery, symmetry and colors.
