Southern India

There are so many people of varied religions, trades and ethnicities  from all regions of India.

They live side by side.

We were invited into a very small one room home that was sell kept.

The neighbor next door was washing clothes at her front door outside.

Young boys playing Cricket in the passage ways for recreation.

I was told that for every 1,000 people living in this area there is one toilet.  Think about that.

The young girl standing down in the door way is the entrance to the small home we visited.

Hungry for lunch.  A local set up food to go. Instead of a drive through this is a walk by.

Across a main street apartments and homes.

A main thoroughfare. Notice driving is with right hand drive.

You name it you can find it on the street to purchase.  Everyone works at something to live.

Working areas barely able to walk through.

Working conditions with clean air and ventilation is nowhere to be found.

Maze of alleys, tiny shops and homes all close together.

Pottery and leather working are two big industries in this area of Dharavi.

Notice the air within this area of Dharavi.
