Travelling Kashmiri Shawl Sellers



Kashmiri Shawl merchant in Simla.

From Volume 4 of 'The people of India : a series of photographic illustrations, with descriptive letterpress, of the races and tribes of Hindustan' (1868) 

A shawl seller at Qazigund bus stand, Kashmir. 2008.
Travelling Kashmiri Shawl sellers in Gurgaon. 2012.
Still a regular winter phenomena in North India.
In fact, I have come across them down as far as Nagpur too.
