Roasted Peanuts

Headgear to balance the basket once the day is over. The stand most likely goes on the shoulder or is held in the hand.

Another very typical stand in rural/semi urban streets in India. They keep the wood burning in the small pot (hence the smoke) to roast and keep peanuts hot. They are usually sold by a cup in the self-made cone-shaped out of old newspaper packets.

Much better on Black

I see a lot of these stands in Mumbai city. Love the smoke in your capture.

The other day I too "shot" a peanut seller on the streets. He however has a permanent place near a tree where he sets up his shop everyday. Will soon post it on Flickr.

wonderful; I have a similar image taken in Mumbai. Yours though has so many more intriguing details (like the spare wood and the special headgear).

Now I find that to be wonderful! Some things that modern vending has replaced are just more wonderful done the old fashioned way. This is just fantastic!
