I find that I end up capturing lot of reds in my pictures, but if asked, I may not say that red is my favorite color! ...let me re-think :-)

There were quite a few "flower accessories" sold in this market - and I'm sure this would be the case at other flower markets as well. This one, for example, is kind of a stand which can hold a bunch of flowers at its top..

Beautiful remains..

These tuberoses seemed to have been abandoned by their seller, perhaps because they were no longer as fresh as some others.. lying quietly in a corner, to me they appeared so beautiful, calm and serene i could not have missed them..

Will be glad to hear your comments..

BTW,Tuberoses in Hindi are called Rajnigandha (derived from the two words - Rajni, meaning night, and Gandha meaning smell/ fragrance in this case. I guess the fragrance of these flowers is strongest at night). Well, there seems to be no direct translation between the names in the two languages :)
