Temple Markets

The area right around Hindu temples is a hive of activity. Temple-goers are buying garlands of greens and flowers, coconuts, lotuses, and more. Sometimes you'll even see a balloon seller or gypsy-like people with their necklaces hoping to capitalize on the large number of visitors. In this photo taken in Chennai, the red and white vertical stripes of the temple are barely visible in the background.
