Confectioner's Stall - Jaipur

Some of the most interesting postcards are bazaar and storefront scenes, which can be staged or candid, but always seem to contain a wealth of information about life a century or more ago. In this case the mithai store looks much the same as it might today, with what might be jalebis above the crouching boys head in the foreground and steel pots that would not be out of place today.
