Javvu Mittai is traditionally so popular where the seller can use the elastic nature of the candy and would make various shapes like wrist-watch and neck chains, etc.

Interestingly such ritual is common in Hinduism. Vesak Day is also known as Buddha Purnima, a full moon day that marks birth, enlightenment and also death (Final Nirvana) of the Gautama Buddha. Also interesting to see a baby Buddha statue. Both Buddhists and non-Buddhists were performing this ritual.

He was very gentle at work for his large eyes and big moustache. I liked to render in BW as well but the wall color is so appealing.

He’s part of a nomadic group and maybe rehearsing for busking or a street performance.
