Shopping Cart

In India, it's not always necessary to go to the store to buy things -- sometimes the goods come to you!

Wallas (vendors) of different types roam the street with their wooden carts of merchandise. Coconuts, vegetables, fruit, oil, recycling pick-up, nuts & puffed rice . . . so many things that get wheeled right past your door.

There are 2 wallas that park just outside the Iyengar Institute to service all the hungry yogis after practice. The easy and convenience can't be beat! There is the ever-popular coconut walla and (new to us this trip) a lovely woman selling vegetables and fruit.

Our daily staples included beets, cauliflower, carrots, spinach, daikon radish, methi leaves, peas, limes, papaya, pre-cut pineapple, and tangerines.
