Kali River - Still Life

Life is Still at the banks of the Kali River at Kodibag, Karwar.

Flowers, anyone...

A near permanent fixture at the Flower Chowk (Main Rickshaw Stand) at Karwar is this Lady, who has been here since more than 60 years, selling Flowers, local fruits, Cashewnuts and locally grown vegetables.

Many ladies recall, going to her asking for the prices, and if they do not have flowers in their hair, she will make such ladies stop, wear a woven flower, and will sermonize on how a "Sumangali" should be.

If you happen to be in Karwar, then definitely give a try.

Caught in the Low Tide..

The river has its high and low tides, like Life itself. We, like the boat have to wait for the tide to rise, and be ready when it rises, to sail away..

Sol Kadi for you..

Solkadhi is a type of curry usually had with rice or sometimes drunk after the meals. Popular in the Konkan region of India, it is made from coconut milk and kokum. It's known for its digestive properties. 

Fish Curry Rice... From a small hotel

The staple food for most Karwaris (natives of Karwar) and surrounding coastal areas, is Rice and Fish. A plate shown here is so much “filling“ that one invariably has to take a Nap :-)

Shown here is rice, fried Sardine fish, fish curry, salad, veggie dish in a plate.
