Garam Masala.

Whatever else India is about, which is a lot, it is about color.

Brilliant, energizing color everywhere.

Bombays main spice market was located a dozen blocks from the
little fabric shop where I found this. But even at that distance, it appeared to be exerting a discernible influence.

The rich colors here are like garam masala, mixed spices cooked together to make them mellow, instead of raw.

The fabric feels mellow, too. Soft, silky, flowing. Wont catch in your throat, as your dear old mataji would say.
