This is a shot of bangles for sale in a shop in the street markets in Varanasi. It stood out from a distance, and was at once intriguing, whether you wear bangles or not.

I did not buy them, because they were glass bangles and I was squeezed for space in my suitcase. But I really wished I could.

Varanasi is a shopping paradise for all sorts of items. In the many weaving lanes, you can find everything of everyday use at the most reasonable price you can imagine.

Whenever I can’t buy something exciting, I make sure to take a shot of it 🙂
