On the way to the local market to sell vegetables
Remani Mandal

Remani depicts village people heading to the market. Crows are attracted to the eggplants, radishes and heads of cauliflower that they carry to sell. A young man bears a shoulder pole with vessels holding papaya. The women wear an old style of saree ornamented with tassels that bounce as they walk. They also wear bulki, or nose rings, bangles, upper arm bracelets and a silver choker called a hasuli.
