Monthly Photos Nov 2021 : A Chai Shop in a BazarMonthly Photos Nov 2021 :

This is a chai shop which came to a square surrounded by one-story houses standing close together. After the bazar closes at noon, the square is deserted and quiet because of the mid-afternoon nap. After dusk, the square is a place where people have a chat drinking chai and enjoy recreations such as card games.
