More Veg Peddlers

This man is doing big business. This guy's vegetable area is bigger than most peddlers on the street. And he is selling a larger variety than most as well. It is much more usual to see someone selling two or three types of produce. He is obviously busy. Sita and Pashupati Katal: I interviewed them about their business because they actually operate from a rented space rather than right on the sidewalk. They pay 4,000 rupees rent per month, but this allows them more space for more vegetables. Also, they don't have to worry about the municipality kicking them off the sidewalk. Sita is 40 and Pashupati is 70. They have 3 children which they send to school with the profits of their vegetable business.
Yum! All the colors! So bright! One nice thing about the vegetable peddlers. Although they take up alot of room on the street, their wares are so bright! They really brighten up this place which would probably be completely dismal without them.
