Devaraja Market

Yesterday I went to the Devaraja market. It was one of the most beautiful places I've been here so far. A classic market scene with big piles of vegetables and fruits, pigments, oils, plastic containers, baskets, bangles, flowers, spices.....

There were
sparrows perched on green beans,

boys hand rolling sticks of incense,

beggars, eyes sunken behind wrinkles,

people stringing flowers for pooja,

boys pushing jars of oil, anklets, bangles, flutes, in my face,

families bargaining for groceries,

sun rays floating through the canvas ceiling...
