The KR Market

K R Market (Krishna Rajendra Market), also known as City Market, is the largest wholesale market dealing with commodities in Bangalore, India. It is named after Krishnarajendra Wodeyar, a former ruler of the princely state of Mysore. The market is located in the Kalasipalya area, adjacent to the Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, on Mysore Road at its junction with Krishnarajendra Road. It is the first locality in the whole of Asia to get electricity. It is also considered to be the largest flower market in Asia.
K R Market was established in 1928. The red and white building of the market has three floors, a basement and an underground parking. The location of the market is said to have been a battlefield in the 18th century.

I headed to the market on my own at 6am... just me and the camera. I always ask before I take a photo but the people here often wanted to have their photo taken - with friends or grandma - and after I showed them the picture, often gave me some fruit as a thank you. Most humbling!
