Tavarakere Village

On our return from Ramohalli to Bangalore, we decided to take a different but longer route via Tavarakere Village. This road was definitely superior. We briefly stopped over at the Tavarakere Sunday morning bazaar, a typical dusty village environment with a lot of hustle & bustle. On sale were vegetables, ground nuts,corn, fruits, meat, fish, poultry, sheep & a range of miscellaneous items. While the ladies were busy driving a good bargain and picking up farm fresh vegetables, I wandered around. My camera shutter kept clicking away and I succeeded in getting some delectable shots of a typical Indian countryside market.

Hi Ram:)

Very interesting and lovely colorful photos.

We hardly know how people in interior parts of India live and do their shopping.

Sunday market should be very useful because people are free on that day and can do their shopping in leisure. Prices will also be less and the products will be fresh. People must be buying enough to meet their weekly requirement.

Very thoughtful of you to show us a glimpse of the market with excellent photos.

I wonder if you bought any thing from there:)

Have a wonderful day Ram:)

Hi Ram. I love the shot of the boy in the truck with the fish and the dog.

These are authentic images of an India not seen by everyone.

Your pictures are very "alive" and show your joy of clicking. And most interesting, as well. I like to explore other lands and cultures through the lense of the people who live there. Thank-you.
