Sengal Soolai

Sengal Soolai's (Brick factories) are quite common in and around Hosur. As Hosur is rich with red soil and the nearby city Bangalore is growing rapidly and the demand for bricks is very high.

 

 

There are various scales of the business. Starting from small scale where they use fire sticks to bake the bricks, medium scale where they use bituminous coal to bake the bricks, large scale where they have built a oven to bake the bricks.

 

 

Seen in picture is a medium scale brick factory. I was lucky to get sunset in the frame.
