…brooms might be an unusual topic, yet they are still an essential tool of cleaning off dust and dirt…

… in our western style of life we might not be any more aware of the importance of brooms.

Wow what an awesome presentation, Cornelia. So beautifully explained. Thanks for the share.
Thank you Kamal for enjoying this post. It’s always very exciting for me to pick out some unusual themes.
Welcome Cornelia and it sure is good to pick up something unusual and work on it. It sure feels good.
Lovely post and idea about thing that you will probably never pay attention to! Which temple is this in Jaipur?
I love to capture things that might not get much attention until you see it. Thank you Arv for your appreciation , ugh I have to look it up in my travel diary what temple that is.
I have started doing that as well. But I post such pictures on my Instagram rather than blog unless it relates to some topic I’m writing here. 🙂
Very nice photo essay, Cornelia.
Thank you dear Carol, love your comment.
Oooh! Cornelia lately Brooms have been very very popular these days in India as it has been a cleaning issue of the country. I do not know when they shall understand that the country shall be clean unless the mind is, wherein the Broom is not required. 😃
Brooms have been the livelihood of many in India. Your one of the images shows so many varieties of them.
Thanks
Shiva
Thank you Shiva, for your thoughts about such an essential, simple and thousands of years old tool to clean up. Indeed as you can see I’ve seen so many brooms in India, like everywhere. I like the texture of brooms. Totally agree with you, that the mind has to be cleaned first.
