Description
A street scene in Jaisalmer. The woman is wearing a classic sari in a striking shade of pink, traditionally wrapped around the body and pulled over the head. On the wall is a faded, hand-painted advertisement for Limca. Limca is a lemon- and lime-flavoured soft drink that is very well known in India; it was launched in 1971 and is now owned by the Coca-Cola Company. The sign above the doorway suggests a furniture shop. On the right-hand side, the rear wheel of a typical Indian roadster bicycle can be seen; this remains the main mode of transport. – 1990
