Such a tallest sickle can only be used in temples it seems, as weapon of a deity.

I had photographed him a few years back and happy to see him continuing the profession which is very rare in these days; and happy to see he’s having continuous business too.

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.
