Excerpt from "Ajmer (1937)"
This vivid amateur film captures life on the streets of Ajmer, in the western state of Rajasthan, plus a festival in nearby Pushkar, featuring a camel race, sword-carrying dancers, elephants, shrines and people at the bathing ghats.
The home movies of T. Burtt, an official in the Indian Foreign Service, offer a vivid picture of Simla, Ajmer, Pushkar and, particularly, Lahore in the 1930s.
