Here are 3 photos of small jewelry workshops near Kumar's shop, where I spent most of my days while in Mysore. The area of town is where all the gold and silver smiths are. I love it there. There are small winding lanes with tiny little shops on either side. No doors, just an opening into which you remove your shoes and sit down. sometimes the spaces are so small you have to sit outside. While inside, so many things are happening. Cows are wandering by, the goldsmiths are busy doing their things, beggars come around, men with bicycles loaded up try to sell their goods (grapes, plastic containers, whatever it may be), the boys come by with chai and people come and go with work for each goldsmith. I just love love love it!!!
