Hi Lensman,

Thanks for your comment.

Mr. Bill Clinton visited Jaipur and Darshan was a small kid at that time. While meeting Bill prompted to take him in his lap and a daily news paper photographer took the snap and gifted it to me. As he was accompanied with me, I could not take the photograph. This is the only picture in this hub that, I have not taken. Bill also written some message for him and signed in his school note book.

I will try to write a hub about kite festival in Jaipur.

Hi Jyoti,

Though I live in Jaipur, some of the photos are really uncommon for me.

If even I do not talk of Darshan with Bill, yo have depicted the whole culture, society, festival and religion of Jaipur in a single hub.
