After exactly 48 hours from now, the blue city of Jodhpur will be splashed with loads of colors.  Doesn't it look so beautiful already? 

Palette for India

Can you imagine how gorgeous it will look after the Let's Colour Project team paints it in this palette. It will complement the blue so well. Watch out this space for more! And don't forget to wish them luck!

You've already seen pictures of the Lapa Stairs here and the following were the palettes used for London and Paris.

Let's Colour Project!

Imagine a box of paints...

Now imagine colouring the entire city with it...the houses, the streets...et al

Alright, now you may stop imagining. Why? Because all this is happening for REAL. Yes! Its the "Let's Colour Project". A few days back I got an e-mail from Raj Bilkhu from the Let's Colour Project. Its a worldwide initiative to transform grey spaces with colourful paint. 

Dulux has launched this vibrant project. its a wonderful way to bring in colour...loads of it into people's lives, inspire them and regenerate their surroundings with a splash of color.Let’s Colour projects begins in Rio De Janerio before moving onto Paris on the 19^th March, London on the 20^th March and India on the 2^nd April, as part of a colour movement spreading around the world.

It kicked off in Brazil last weekend and saw the Lapa stairs in Rio de Janeiro ( Before they transform the grey concrete architecture of Aulnay-sous-Bois at Paris with an array of hot oranges and reds tomorrow!) transforming into an art piece. Sitting here I can imagine the smile it must have brought to each face. 

Want to see what they did in Lapa? THIS! Such a lovely riot of colours!

So where do I come in? Well, I am going to ask you lovely readers for some help to do what I need to do! Spread the word around, Volunteer or just encourage them.

And.

Most importantly suggest some streets, buildings, locations where they can do the same in the beautiful state of Rajasthan! Leave me a comment or be a part of the discussion here.

Thank you so much for going through this post. Lets spread the word!
