The Ajmer-Jaipur Highway stretches across a dry, semi-arid landscape of Rajasthan, with the paved two-lane road extending diagonally toward the distant horizon. A small commercial passenger van travels along the highway, while a roadside rest area on the left includes a building, parked bus, white car and delivery truck. Several open-sided shelters with corrugated metal roofs and a small blue-roofed shed stand along the opposite side of the road. Dry sandy terrain surrounds the highway, with sparse trees, shrubs and patches of green vegetation scattered across the landscape. As seen aerially, from the air, in this aerial view.
