Hawkers sell earthen lamps on mada streets for Karthigai Deepam

Karthigai Deepam festival falls on Nov.23 and the hawkers of the mada streets in Mylapore have spread a variety of earthen lamps on their tables.

The vegetable hawkers on South Mada Street are a smart lot – quick to make space on their tables or pavements to offer things that are required for the season or a religious festival.

This year, there are a variety of earthen lamps on sale.
