The Land Where Were Born the Caravans

Das Land in dem die Karawanen entstanden

Page 2: The land where born the caravans

A journey through the past on the Western part of India. There used to start the caravans loaded with opium, spices, dry fruits, materials and many other products. Through mountains and deserts they slowly moved on to China, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Middle East. Rich merchants called Mahawari built there wide buildings - Haveli - where they traded and lived a luxurious life. All of these haveli were ornamented with frescoes and have rooms for music and dance, caravanserai... All around, in the town, they built very fine temples, wells, pools... Jaisalmer, Shekawati...It seems that these places are still dreaming of long camels rides through the sand dunes under the sun, the moon and the Milky Way...

Eine Reise in die Vergangenheit des westlichen Teils von Indien. Dort wurden die Karawanen mit Opium, Gewürzen, Trockenfrüchten, Stoffen und vielen anderen Produkten beladen bevor ihre Reise begann. Durch Berge und Wüsten bewegten sie sich langsam bis nach China, Pakistan Afghanistan und den mittleren Osten. Reiche Kaufleute, Mahawari genannt, bauten ihre großen Häuser – Haveli- in denen sie handelten und ihr luxuriöses Leben führten. All diese Havelis wurden mit Fresken verziert und hatten Räume für Musik, Tanz und Karawanserei. Ringsum in der Stadt bauten sie feine Tempel und Brunnen. Jaisalmer, Shekawati.... Es sieht so aus als würden dies Städte noch von den großen Kamelreisen durch den Sand der Dünen unter der Sonne, dem Mond und der Milchstraße träumen....
