The hawkers are out on North Mada Street

Mylaporeans, many say wake up to the spirit of Navarathri when North Mada Street takes on a different color at this time of the year.
It is a time when local hawkers - people who may be selling vegetables or flowers or knick-knacks source dolls and target the Navarathri shoppers.

This has not been the best of time for hawkers. Those who set up shop on the eve of Sri Krishna jayanthi told us that this has not been a good season, hurt as they are by power cuts and rising costs.

Last weekend, hawkers carved out space on the mada veedhi to set up shop. And slowly, the face of this street is changing. Rows and rows of dolls are now on display on the pavements.
