Colors Galore! Photo Tour of Santhe – Small Town India Farmers Market

Santhe – Local Farmers Market in a small town in India

Chinmayie Bhat takes us on an inspiring photo tour of her local farmers market in the town of Puttur, India.
By Chinmayie Bhat

I am from a little town called Puttur in the state of Karnataka of Southern India. My little town has a weekly farmers market. It has farmers from all neighboring villages selling their fresh produce. In our local language kannada, farmers market is called ‘Santhe’.

My Grandma visits this market every week and buys all her vegetables from there. She says (and she is right) that it has the freshest vegetables. This week I joined her.

Here are some photos from my trip. Peak into a small town India’s Farmers Market…

sun dried fritters in different flavours ready to be deep fried

That's a spicy Jaggery, with black pepper, ginger and cardamom.. Tastes so good!

Pumpkins and bottle gourds of all shapes and sizes
