Muslim quarter

There are lots of Muslims in Mumbai. Today I went to the Haji Ali Mosque, it's about a kilometre out to sea. There's a dock running out to it, which gets covered at high tide.


Inside the mosque there was a sort of religious busking troupe playing qawalli music. They were awesome. I was surprised no one danced.



Afterwards I went to Chor Bazaar, which is a huge maze of, well, bazaars, selling everything. I was the only Westerner there. I listened to the cricket with a guy in a back alley while he made rosary things out of flowers. Everytime something big happened everyone cheered. Here's a pic going in, it gets a lot smaller and more windy inside. I kinda felt like Indiana Jones in that scene where he shoots the guy with the swords.
