Southern India

This is a perfect example of different styles of saris, dresses or garments, worn by Indian women and young girls. The sari is a female garment in the Indian subcontinent. A sari is a strip of unstitched cloth, ranging from four to nine meters in length, that is draped over the body in various styles.
Among other striking features of the palace are the massive white pillars, several of which line the corridor that runs along the courtyard.

This lady was selling beautiful leis to wear.  The white  flower leis reminded me of the same aroma as the leis of Hawaii.  Beautiful.
A lady selling a little bit of everything including the Betel for health benefits.
After leaving Madurai about an hour out of town we stopped at a small town that had a local market in full course taking place. Each market is so different to walk through and talk with locals, see the products being sold and just viewing the everyday life of local Indian people. They are curious of the tourists.  Notice the number of varieties of local bananas.
This market is like walking through a mini city of items for sale.
This lady in her colorful sari is selling garlic and other freshly home grown items.
