This
market, beside the railroad tracks in Peshawar, is selling
metallic streamers that look like Christmas tree tinsle but are
in-fact for decorating the graves of recently deceased (I suppose
flowers are too few & shrivel too fast in the blazing
sun...?). The same stall sells garlands of decoratively arranged
small notes (typically, 20 rupee bills) which are placed around
the necks of
the recently returned, the bridegroom at a wedding or a man
celebrating the
opening
of a new business & suchlike.
