Fresh vegetables



























This would be another interesting thing to think about. Who sells the vegetables and fruits here in Dharavi? Are they the residents of Dharavi themselves? Where do they get the vegetables from? What is the cost of the vegetables in Dharavi and other places in the city? Is it the same? Is this market only for the people of Dharavi? Who are the main costumers?

Dhobi Talao - The local laundry



Community space!



This is the place in front of a few houses left mainly for the reason that no one knew how to build in and still be able to walk through the other hosues.
















This open courtyard is a luxury!


























Water in Dharavi









A very old way of bringing water.... A hand pump!





















Water containers to store water
















Reels of pipe to bring in water in the mornings
























Provision for illegal connection









A fresh water pipe left on the ground
