📄 Image slot — a photographer respectfully documenting a fair procession from a respectful distance.
The fair is a pilgrimage — the etiquette (the general frame: the people-photography rules).
The code
- What to shoot: the procession from the edges, the flags, the colour ; the visual story.
- What to never shoot: devotees in prayer without asking, the samadhi interior, close-ups of faces mid-prayer.
- The consent framework: ask first, accept the refusal, share the image ; the portrait standard.
Planning notes
The belt runs on desert logic: the day belongs to the temples and the road, the evening to the dunes and the fire. Build this stop around one unhurried hour rather than a quick photo.
Costs and access
- Timing: daylight hours suit most visits; confirm the day’s window locally.
- Costs: any entry sits in the nominal range — small notes settle it.
- Getting there: the belt is car country — fuel and daylight rules apply.
