Salut Paul,

Colourful and sharp with the indoor banana trees adding a welcome splash of greenery. The patterned yellow and orange ceiling adds repetition. Tfs!

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your interesting notes which added a lot of understanding to your photographs. How sensible you were to get a guide from your hotel who would have got as much pleasure, sharing his background with you, as you did learning from him. You must have had an unforgettable experience touring this are with him!
You show us clearly the huge number of people, the vibrancy of their clothes and their happy social interaction.
The photographs show very colourful scenes. The emphasis on flowers is even repeated in the canopy. I love to see so many people patiently sharing this religious experience. I just could not imgine this happening at home - of course, it's rarely warm enough to sit in the street!

Thank you for sharing these lovely photographs and your experiences,
Bev :-)

Hello Paul,
These photos are remarkably clear and sharp for being largely indoor. The abundance of bright colours is hard to beat. The average package tourist to India is not likely to come so close to this aspect of daily life. The description of the circumstances of your visit to Dharavi is also interesting, showing the advantage of having a personal guide. My relatively limited experience of Hindu ceremonies and pilgrimage sites has been that even on my own I have been received very well and people have been anxious to help me find the best views. But a local guide is probably the best guarantee for smooth procedures and safety.
Best wishes,
Gert

Dag Paul,

Dit is echt een kleurrijk beeld mat de mensen.
Moet voor u wel echt heel speciaal zijn wanneer men uit westers land komt.
Om dan compleet in een sloppenwijk terecht te komen.
Maar uw foto is echt mooi scherp genomen, ik ken de mensen niet, mocht ik iemand kennen dan zijn perfect herkenbaar.
Mooi reportage om iets van te leren. bedankt.

Prettige zondag,
John.

Good evening Paul,
Yet once more, a temple scene and abundance of colors by the visiting worshipers. You were very close in distance to the people, mingling withnthe local - so I reckon from these 3 WS's added and the main post.
Good evening,
Ike

Hello Paul,
India seems to be an explosion of color and humanity. There are so many vibrant colors in this scene, including the lovely cloth ceiling. I also enjoyed reading your note. It's good that you could safely visit Dharavi with a knowledgeable guide. It's good to get off the beaten path, but still stay safe at the same time. :-)

Hello Paul, Amazing pictures from this district of the second biggest slum in the world. And it doesn't look as something we imagine as slum. Interesting story about your guide in Dharavi. Wonderful view of these all women in saris. I realize that I haven't see many interesting places in Mumbai.
I think that our TE friend Angshuman lives in Mumbai. Haven't you tried to meet him? It would be interesting.
I went a few kilometers along the main street in Mumbai that it looked like slums. I saw favelas in Rio de Janeiro, but only from above, I was warned it wouldn't be safe. The worst slum I saw were in Peru, near Lima. Interesting area is also in Cairo, many people live in the cememtieris, one doesn't know how many. But I was not brave to go there.

Hi Paul
It's the small face of the kid which makes all the different here - being a winner that you have used the ops to grab it precisely. It's an excellent social observational shot here!! Congrats
Best regards

Hi Paul,
I think I know why I didn't see these photos before. I was never really interested in this country. I think it is spectacular for culture lovers but in regard to landscapes there are probably better destinations. Also I am not into photographing people so I may have initially skipped all photos with people because I was less interested in them...
This is such a nice scene so full of color!
Yes the colorful dresses are so photogenic!!
