SALIGAO




CURCA


Interesting to see the wind in the flags and the old man in the shade.


We saw these geometric salt pans from afar and wanted to get to them...We were on our rented scooter when we saw this gentleman passing by on the other side and asked him the directions to these salt pans...He was so kind he gave us precise directions and offered to take us there..


This migrant worker family is from North Karnataka. They work 9 months of the year in the salt pans. It was amazing to see them toil in this heat in afternoon washing away his own reflection..
