Udaipur Market


After an hour or so, things began to pick up, with more people (and animals) wandering the streets, as well as shops unfettering the pull-down shutters on their shops. Huge blocks of jaggery (sugar from the sap of a date/coconut palm tree) were wheeled through The street on a cart, tempting people with its scent to buy a chunk. Other sold fresh juice from their wheeled vending cart. People were now gathering at the local produce market, with some ladies placing purchased goods in woven baskets balanced on their heads. A cow wandered suspiciously close to the produce, licking up the few pieces of grass as if waiting for an opportune moment.

This sugar is good....not sure if the cow licked it or not, but it's good, and I'm still here!
