Well of the sun

Every year, the first fortnight of February is witness to a massive congregation of humanity (and their vehicles!!) in the idyllic hamlet of Surajkund (literally the well or pool of the sun) in Faridabad. The Surajkund crafts fair is a congregation of small artisans and craftsmen from all over the country, who come to this fair ground to sell their wares.
This year too was no exception. To experience this phenomenon first hand, armed with a lot of time, an empty stomach and a not-so-great mobile phone camera, I landed up at the grounds. It was perfect weather for a day out, with the sun bright and cheerful, a cool nip in the air, and Delhiites of all hues proved this by turning up in massive numbers!!
The colorful mass of humanity seemed to be having a great time, entertained by various groups of people dancing, singing and making people laugh! Shoppers could be found bargaining vigourously, and replenishing energies with the exotic and delicious hot food on offer. Here are some pictures (not so good unfortunately)...
