Khari Baoli...same same but different....


...we turned a corner and now I saw my first chills, mirch in hindi...
it was scarf on....meaning scarf over the nose because we could feel the spice particles flying around



yes...this is what I wanted to see... turmeric powder,coriander powder and chilli powder...
made me smile ....





we where on our way up some stairs to have a look from above...narrow stairs....only one person at a time...
especially when carrying these small bags of chills on their heads....
imagine being crushed by chills !!


watch out !! 



spices spices ....wonder what kind though ?


????


???


chilli in bulk...a sack must be worth a fortune....


so many different ones...same same but different....oh so different on the "hot scale"






the old "haveli" that holds the market must have been really beautiful way back in the 17th century....


too bad no one takes care of it ....but you can see and imagine how, can't you ?


from the rooftop I saw a bread bakery...they put out all the breads in the streaming sun...



oh so beautiful....at first I thought it was rose petals...but it's nutmeg flowers laid out to dry....they use them for desserts....


the chills from above....not a bad sight...






walking down from the roof top I suddenly saw this wonderful window....

our tour in the spice market was over and we walked back to our drivers and off we went to the
wedding-the bling bling street.....
I do have a few more pictures...not today though..
enjoy your sunday...hope the sun is shining on you...
the sun is really shining on us....it's already 38 degrees celsius..HOT
