Adam Brooks' photos in India

A sticker adorns the steps of a temple at Jaisalmer Fort in Rajasthan. The footprints
featured are those of the goddess of wealth and prosperity, Lakshmi, whose presence is anticipated in the homes of Indians each Diwali.

Workers at Jaipur Foot, the world's largest prosthetic provider, craft knees and lower legs for patients. The organization is a model for how hundreds of thousands of the world's amputees can be assisted, free of charge.

A butcher in Jaipur, Rajasthan carefully, but confidently, slices mutton by gripping the
knife between his toes. I assisted my host father to this shop to gather ingredients for dinner.
