Wedding season

Buying red saris, embroidered with gold for the bride was happening in this little shop at the Jaipur Johari Bazaar. The shop floor is soft with a fabric covering, so shoes are removed at the entrance and you sit on the floor to discuss and decide on purchases.
Sari trim can also be easily purchased to make your sari extra special.

These shops are packed floor to ceiling with so many sparkly things- trims, braids and motifs here. Gotta love it all, but the suitcase is not big enough!

  1. The braids look beautiful - are the men just as interested I wonder?
