MYSORE: THE SPICE MARKET

Much like the other open air markets I’ve been in here, the Mysore spice market is chock full of colorful life. I can’t exactly say I stumbled upon mass quantities of spices, but there seemed to be mass quantities of everything else consequently I didn’t notice the missing spices. It was in this market that I started noticing the unique textures of life in the market space.

Banana man outside the market.

Loads of color. 

Fruit!

Bells and locks!

Coconuts!

Sort of wish I knew what this is exactly... Looks like kindling to me, but I don't think it is. I just liked the textures.

Market color!

"Come mister tally man, tally me bananas... "

Texture of banana leaves. 

Garlic. Lots of garlic!

Green beans. 

Eggplants

Chilies!

Market produce.

Oils and colored powders. 

A variety of bananas. 

Each powder vender had a different way of displaying their product. I, in turn, was incline to try and capture each different style.
