Lure of Bangalore Series
Name: Mangal Singh Yadav. From: Agra, UP. Why? To sell these dolls he makes.
Mangal Singh Yadav has been selling these dolls for 40 years now. He started out from outside Red Fort in Delhi. During the Indira Gandhi regime, when pavement sellers were cleared, he moved to Mumbai. After a long stint there, he is now in Bangalore. However his family members, including his grown up sons, are in Agra. We were happy to note that both of us still carry our expired second class Mumbai local train passes with us, wherever we go.
The rest of the Lure of Bangalore series.

Silver hair, gold ornaments and flowers.
A lady sells flowers, cotton and incense sticks outside the Hazrath Sharfudeen Shah Qadri Dargah on Old Taluk Cutchery Rd. But why is she selling it outside a dargah? That's because this dargah is a major stop for the Hindu Karaga procession, making it popular among both Muslims and Hindus.
