K R Market (City Market), Bangalore

After having stayed in Bangalore for three months and having visited most of the city's major sights, I didn't expect that there is much left to see. How wrong I was! Today I visited the K R Market (also known as City Market) which was a pure festival of colours. The gigantic market is divided into an open-air area and a big hall. Its countless market stands, pretty flowers and other appealing goods, shouting merchants, people who carry goods on their head or shoulders, smiling children but also plenty of dirt, garbage everywhere, bad smells, homeless people sleeping in corners, beggars and many other aspects truly make up for a genuine - but exhausting - Indian experience.

Please feel free to have a look at some of my pictures in my gallery.

Delicious lime fruits, unfortunately presented directly on the dirty street as many of the goods
