Late afternoon light thins across the Thar and the sand takes on a hard-gold edge as you leave Jodhpur behind. A private car rolls toward Osian; temple spires silhouette against a widening sky. The slow, rhythmic rise and fall of a camel puts distance between city noise and desert quiet while the sun slides down to meet the dunes.
