Stories from the street: Kolkata, India

We have been visiting Kolkata during the Christmas holidays over past few years. One of my rituals during these trips is to visit the Mallickghat Wholesale Flower Market on the first day of January. One of my childhood friends also accompanies me. The flower market is considered one of the largest in the world and is located at the Kolkata-end of the famous Hawrah Bridge (Rabindra Setu). This photo was taken on January 1st, 2020. This is a street food location (sometimes locally known as "Pice Hotel") in the market and provides lunch for the flower vendors who come from flower growing areas of West Bengal such as, Midnapur.
