Lovely hues!

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.

Aaarti -Photography wasnt allowed , but the colours were so tempting..Ive passed Chitradurga many times, but not been there still..guess, its always been a case of lack of time..thanks for the reminder..will do it sometime
Sameera – Yes, I did..one of my best trips ever , thanks
Mridula – Thanks..just another digital camera from Sony. In fact been wanting to buy a DSLR as this doesnt give me a good zoom or even a wide angle
Vishesh –
there are so many things we discover as we travel
Hobo –
Yes and quite a feast for the senses
Ropi – Glad you like a bit of what you see..Indian names are a bit difficult

I am – Ironically , I also thought the same when I saw it from far and I wondered what they were doing ..and then I realized it was turmeric..
The colors look nice..
Whoa!
Never heard of red turmeric! Does it taste the same?
Incredible colours but it must be an awful job.
brilliant perspective!
