Caption: Jaipur, Rajasthan, India - Apr 2003. Indian women wait to go to the temple at the Jaipur City Palace in Rajasthan, during the festival of Ganguar. Dedicated to Goddess Parvati, wife of Krishna and known as one of the nine ideal wives, Ganguar is the festival of fertility. During the festival, girls over the age of seven worship clay or wooden images, preparing themselves for their role as wives and mothers. After the festival the dolls are thrown into moving water, apparently assuring fertility and a prosperous love life. Married women such as this one pray for their husband's prosperity.
