Chanda!

The morning rush in the Kottayam fish-market (or chanda) is one of those elusive finds seen by a lucky few outsiders.  It is a raucous scene; the day’s catch needs to move before the morning is done and merchants are ready to make a deal.

(Below is a photo of the original, shot in Tri-X Pan, printed in a good old fashioned dark room – this does not capture many nuances in the print image unfortunately.)
