Mysore Market Mysore is famed for its incense,
but with only two days left before the Festival of Ganesha, shoppers
crowded the narrow aisles of the central market in search of flowers to
adorn the chubby, elephant-headed god and ingredients for making his
favorite sweets. A whole row of jaggery vendors arranged their blocks of
sugar into high, neat stacks. Across from them, the flower vendors wound
their garlands into fragrant towers of blossoms, filling the air even more
sweetly than the nearby incense.
