The Temple Market in Pondicherry was a fascinating assault on the senses.We took a tour through to see if we could pick up a few mementos of the trip.
It was only a block long, but boy, did they ever pack alot in one block!!
On one end of the block were vendors selling jasmine strands for women's hair,
apparently, only Tamil women wear them. They smelled lovely.
Elephants are considered very fortuitous in India, and at this Market, they had their very own elephant outside the temple.
She moved about from one side to the other, like she was changing the weight on her hip...and the bells about her neck jingled when she moved, as did the bracelets on her ankles.She was a very clever girl, and as my nephew demonstrates if you're kind enough to spare some change, she would leave you with a blessing. Quite amazing, and a very amazing day.
