Markets and bazaars, or “haats” as they’re known locally, are trading venues for people all over India. Whether in a tiny rural town or an urban megacity, these open air markets make your senses come to life as you take in the vibrant Indian culture.
Take the haat bazaar in Ahmedabad, India for example.
You’ll find a red-haat collection of jewelry…
alongside a haat spot for traditional fabric!
So traveler Ektaa is putting you in the haat seat with her fabric find straight from the haat of Ahmedabad…
Plus a few more Traveler Edition Totes that are haat off the press!

Here’s to having the haats for India, and to feeling good—because after all, it’s Friday!

Wikipedia (ahem, my favorite source) defines “pay it forward” as “an expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying the kindness to others instead of to the original benefactor.”
In other words, when someone does something nice for you, you do something nice for someone else, sparking an awesome chain reaction of kindness :)
Season’s greetings to you and your family!
We hope you have a great thyme this season doing your favorite holiday things: from cumin together with your family, to wearing warm and comfy cloves, to chili-ing out and taking some time off to rest. Oh and have fun opening presents too, just remember that “it is always pepper to give than to receive.”
From all of us at Taaluma, we wish you a rose-merry Christmas and a dill-lightful New Year!
