"Hello Madam, Photo"!!! - Elephanta Island

"Hello Madam, Photo"!!!

"Hello Madam, Photo"!!!

"Hello madam, Photo!!!" This is the only English the lady with the pot of water placed on her head knows for foreign tourists to take a picture of her dressed in the traditional Maharashtrian saree!!! Not to be confused with this Italian madam (pollon@VT aka Chiara) who had her photo taken in front of the Nataraja Shiva doing the cosmic dance in the creation of the universe!!! HAHAHA!!!

Unique Suggestions: If at all you want to take a picture of the lady with the water pot then agree on the price for the picture beforehand and only then take it!!! Don't give more than Rs5 for a few pictures!!!

Fun Alternatives: Or else take it quickly and quietly when someone else falls for the trap!!! HAHAHA!!!

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
