There was a somewhat languid air in the market. There was no air conditioning, and the heat and humidity clung to my body. However, it was a relief that the time of day I visited was relatively calm. Stores were open, but shoppers were sparse, and I was able to wander around the market at my own pace.
The man in the photo is a man with a mustache I met at the market. He was selling tomatoes, just like the man in the previous photo. The sight of piles of tomatoes shining bright red was impressive.
After visiting several markets in Mumbai, I had expected to see more of the abundance of fruits and vegetables that one would find in a tropical country, but surprisingly, the variety sold seemed to be limited. The variety of vegetables, in particular, seemed to be less than in Japanese markets.
