When I was mooching around in Pushkar I found a shop that sold bits and bobs for Hindu devotees. I bought a dress and elaborate headpiece for a small idol and brought her back to Jaffa hoping she would fit one of my Barbie dolls. And it did. The sleeves were in the wrong place so I removed them and instead covered up her top half with some lovely fuchsia braid. Pushkar is a Hindu holy city built round a lake with lots of flower fields. I took goddess Barbie to Ra’anana so I could photograph her with all the vivid colours of nature and street architecture wearing her vibrant outfit. I had such fun photographing her. Enjoy.
