Lovely colors. Did I ever ask you which camera do you use?

Aromatic experience.
Well, I won’t remember this name. It is good that you introduce your country’s traditions.
Hope you had a wonderful trip.
I didn’t get why they are inside a temple for segregating turmeric.
Have a great weekend ahead.
Stunning!
I have not seen red turmeric before, yellow ones yes. But again never in such huge quantities. Great shot!
Excellent picture 🙂
Bright colors of turmeric catch the eye, pateeswaram durgai temple is quite famous.

Incredible colours but it must be an awful job.
brilliant perspective!
