Earning a Living on a Street in Thanjavur, originally uploaded by © Ganga108.

A Tamil man, Saivite (devotee of Lord Siva), makes roti outdoors, to cook over a wood fuelled stove constructed from a 44 gallon drum and a heavy steel top for a griddle. A man eats in a darkened corner of the cafe. When you view large (see link below) you can just make out that he is eating with his hands, Indian style, and has a metal pot of water and metal drinking vessel in front of him.
