A Footpath Transformed

Come Diwali and the footpath in front of our apartment in Hyderabad, goes through major transformation. It's so amazing how simply and beautifully the flower sellers take over the place.

Two days before Diwali, was tent being put in place

By evening the flowers were in

By the next day I knew Sai Krishna and family :)

Two days..and almost all flowers sold, they said they sold about five quintals of flowers

Sure, we bought from them too...diksha putting up the flower thoranam at home

In fact one year, we'd left the car parked on the road, and by evening it had become part of their floral display.....they had their flowers all over the car as well.... guess nothing will stop them.  

And what's best, they just stay there all of three days, including sleep there the nights. That's commitment to business I guess. And to us, it just adds more color and flower around !
