Very often, when I walk the streets of Indian markets with my camera, I see matching colours. The street vendors are dressed according to the goods they’re selling. Or… is it just a coincidence? It might be, but sometimes not… I spotted a few matching colours at Dadar market, Mumbai.
Above; a woman is selling yellow coloured fruits, dressed in a yellow sari. If her sari had been red, I might not have payed her any attention her… Now, she stood out in the crowd.
Below: She is selling grapes, and she has draped herself in a mauve sari which matches the tissue paper…
Below: Whatever she is selling, it matches her sari and umbrella. It was the reds that caught my attention.
Below: Even her bangles goes with her goods!
Below: A man… at last. Selling garlic and the shades are all blue…
Thanks to http://www.zamorinofbombay.com/ who took me to Dadar!
Kult!
Beautiful photos and I think it is an intriguing question. I would think that they are aware of the colours…
Thank you for this reflection
