A rectangular cloth finds many uses in Indian cities. It becomes a woman's sari, a man's dhoti or lungi (sarong) or a turban. It is also used as a bag by local traders, a bright and beautiful carry-bag that plastic will never match. It is also worth mentioning that they are reusable and made from natural material — cotton.
I took these images outside Grant Road Station in Mumbai on a Sunday morning. Here there is a big concentration of street traders carrying cloth bags full of household wares to sell in the local market.
