A Morning In Tiretta Bazar

A very nice walk could begin in the early morning at Tiretta Bazaar where you can savour the famous Chinese Breakfast of home made buns, momos, dimsums et al and then you can visit the synagogues and churches along Brabourne Road.

A traditional rickshaw puller making way through the busy lane of Tiretta Bazar early in the morning.

It is chinese dimsum. made from a thin dough with filling inside. The marking ourside will determine what is the filling. Example, red for chicken, blue for pork, black for bean etc... It goes with a sauce and best eaten when hot. Reason why it is retained in the steamer.
In different areas it has a name, some bun, some siopao and etc.

The early morning market is a photoraphers'  delight. You can always find a few photographers wandering.

 

The main attraction here is the fresh Chinese food made by original Chinese people.

Hand Pulled Rickshaws Of Kolkata

 A pulled rickshaw (or ricksha) is a mode of human-powered transport by which a runner draws a two-wheeled cart which seats one or two persons. Rickshaws are commonly made with bamboo. In recent times the use of rickshaws has been discouraged or outlawed in many countries due to concern for the welfare of rickshaw workers. Runner-pulled rickshaws have been replaced mainly by cycle rickshaws and auto rickshaws.

 Though most of India has migrated to motorized auto rickshaws, hand-pulled rickshaws do exist in a few pockets and towns. As of 2005, the last sizable fleet of rickshaws can be found in Kolkata (Calcutta), where the rickshaw-puller union resisted prohibition.
