Temple florist

By sawsengee  
Street portrait of an old woman selling flowers to worshippers at the Brahmaji Temple in Pushkar.........to her it is not just a matter of food on the table but also an inner feeling of spiritual obligation to the Temple God Brahma and to the hundreds of weary worshippers and visitors.
p.s. I was told that she was selling flowers in that same location at the temple gate since she was a child!
THANK YOU Leo for the UA and to those who voted, commented, my deep appreciation for your response. ee GrinGrinGrin

When I was young and just starting a much old photographer told me "take away the colour and you see the subject". Your image takes it much further, in this we see the story from behind the eyes. Super job...

Sounds like she's been selling flowers quite a while then, Sawsengee, and should have the hang of the job now! 😁 Excellent mono portrait 👍
