For the past couple of days, I have been in Bangalore, home of delicious food and brightly-colored clothing. Mosambi (sweet lime juice), gulab jamun, peda, and kootu have been my favorites so far (and Prithvi definitely did not help me spell those). And the fresh coconut juice from the street! Observe this pile of coconuts:
Clothing-wise, we visited a tailor shop that makes women's clothing. The colorful fabric is incredibly vibrant and beautiful, ranging from bright magenta to deep gold. I learned from the shop that when making saris, the blouses must be individually made for the wearer. Because of the customization, the person must be measured before the blouse can be made. Below is a photo of the tailor shop we visited. You can see the blouses hanging in the top left corner and the colorful fabrics on the right.
Here is Prithvi getting measured. She looks enthralled.
Tomorrow we leave for our busy trip to Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, and Mumbai. I can't wait!
