Flute player at Chowpatty Beach

At Mumbai’s Chowpatty Beach, Raju makes a living selling ‘flutes’, a musical instrument, while Ahmed, who supports a family of four by selling peanuts, looks on. In the background, a family enjoys their evening out. In the extreme background, the domed structure is a revolving restaurant, considered by the locals to be an “architectural marvel”. It is very popular with the swish set. After Tokyo, Mumbai is the world’s second-most populated city, with more than 20 million inhabitants.
