A flower vendor

Certain flowers come fresh during the day and some in the evening. Jasmine is usually sold fresh in the evenings. So around noon, this lady wanted to dispose of her previous day stock and asked me to purchase jasmine. I told her I would buy, if she allowed me to take her picture and her beautiful flowers. With a smile on her face, she adjusted her saree and I took some snaps.

When I was in high school, I used to pass the flower shop, which gave flowers to my house. The lady there would put jasmine flowers on my head herself. That is how the bonding is with these vendors.

  1. Such beautiful moments. When we go to the temple square in Udupi we used to buy flowers from the vendor we came to know of prior to our daughter’s wedding in 2011. But over the years, I stopped buying flowers, I don’t know why. After seeing your post I will start buying again. 😊
