This is a cooks paradise,and I agree with DARRYL it is history, it is a great shot.

It certainly is a great shot. I love all those colours of the spices. I trust he or someone else is still around selling in a shop like this and will be for years to come. It would be a travesty to see a supermarket in his place.

I really like the whole composition, along with the colors and contrast. And the pictures shows me a story of another place, another culture that I don't see where I live. I really like that! Great job, Rakesh!

18 years ago - WOW! History indeed has been recorded in this wonderful image Rakesh. Love the expression on his face, & all the colorful spices. That's what camera's are to me, (recorders of history, & split seconds of life) as I told my husband -they are a time catcher, kinda' like a time machine. To me, they are the greatest of inventions!! :)
