The gates to Radjastan

Jodhpur
You could fill a book with pictures of doors and gates in India. Not only that they are colourful and beautifully carved, they also offer a view into the mysterious interior of the houses... and their inhabitants
Jodhpur
"I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed.
I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible, But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.
I refuse to live in other people's houses as an interloper, a beggar or a slave." (Gandhi)

Most of the blue houses of Jodhpur have green doors
