To PaulVDV: henna
Thank you Paul,
Henna decorations on a bride's hands are typical of many cultures in Asia, the Middle East and North Africa, including definitely India.

Thank you Brenda,
I made a similar alternative version, without the blue tint, AFTER I had uploaded this photo. But I think your WS would need some adjustment of the man's skin color, which now...

Thank you Paul for this comment, and the other one.
I was surprised to read in my diary the other day that I actually gave this priest, or whatever he was, the huge sum of 5 rupees. I noted that he...

I have been to India at least a dozen times between 1972 and 2009, and there were enormous changes in those years, mostly to the better. It's not just that the pure hell of buying a...
