Spreading Loban


The fakir roams around in the market spreading the fragrant smoke from burning Loban (frankincense) in return for a tip from the shop owner. In the photo he is fanning the embers at a shop selling garlic in the Mirza Ghalib market.

    Where do you capture these pics ? So nostalgic and open to interpretation of so many types, the fragrance is very pleasant.
