In the mood for Ramzaan

In the holy month of Ramzaan, Mohammed Ali road is one place where you will find a sea of humanity post sunset. This is when the place comes alive and is so, till the early morning next day. The place is a foodies’ and a photographers paradise. So i set out one fine evening to capture some moments.
Round and about
A mehndi seller filling up the mehndi cones. He said most of his customers are male, who use the mehndi /henna and apply it in the hair of their beards




Womens market

Found these pretty mannequins with the hijab, and well just had to capture them

The sheer colour and dazzle of the bangles due to the bulbs can get overwhelming after a while, but it is fun to watch the women haggle over these with the stall guys:)


Getting Ready to break the fast






The Meats and Eats

The fried goodies, generally had while breaking the Roza alongwith the fruits


The Khichda – a concoction of dal and meat (generally mutton or beef) where the meat is cooked to that melt-in-your-mouth precision




The Sweets


Sevaiyaan

A stall owner extracting the sweet named Sandaal from the cups


The beloved Malpua – heavenly when had with the Rabri (a condensed milk recipe)




Eid Mubarak


Take Care,


Ciao
