More from Maharagama…

 |
| Some of the shops sold their clothing and textiles by weight. When I go to Maharagama with Mark, I may be tempted to buy tea-towels, boxer shorts, and pajamas this way. | |

I’m unsure whether this three wheeler is delivering stock or carrying full load of purchased items.Annand said that Maharagama is one of the few places where everyone is charged the same price – tourists won’t be gouged….a relief for me as sometimes, you just don’t feel like fighting tooth and nail for a buck off your purchase. |

| Not all the shops have ‘permanent’ locations; some are just a tarp thrown on the ground. Each shop seems to have different stock though, so it takes a lot of walking to find particular items. Although all the shops are crammed, they seem to still find a way to present their wares in an attractive way…neatly hung or folded. | |

 In some of the stores, it was necessary to take off our shoes before entering. Most shops were small so every part of the store was used to display merchandise, including the ceiling! |
