The Mumba Devi Temple, from which the city of Mumbai takes its name. In front of the temple, there were many stalls lined up and crowded with worshippers. They ranged from stores selling offerings to those selling toys and daily necessities. It is likely that many of the vendors are selling their wares to the many worshippers who visit the temple.
Naturally, many people buy offerings, but there are also many people who end up picking up toys and other miscellaneous items that catch their eye. While fulfilling the purpose of visiting the shrine, people still end up stopping by the stalls. The items lined up there may not actually be useful, but the act of buying them may be what tickles people's hearts.
As I was walking along thinking about this, my eyes met a man's. I pointed my camera at him and he looked at me. When I pointed my camera at him, he smiled and gave me a thumbs up. This honest gesture made me feel warm in the midst of the hustle and bustle.
