I think these doorways, half way up an exterior wall above a make-shift market in Bazaar
Street, Kochi (the old spice trading centre of Old Cochin), allow the upper-floor workshops
inside to have their goods delivered by lorry straight onto the shop floor, and probably
despatched the same way. Either that or it's a design quirk (in India an equally plausible
idea), but either way the vibrant colours - not just here but throughout India - are a panacea
to one habituated to the dun colour of much of the Indian sub-continent's interior. Even so,
there is more colour in India per square metre than in a Dulux paint factory: festivals and
fireworks at the drop of a hat, women's sari's, the gaudy colours of India's religious paintings,
temples and iconography, hand-painted trucks, cotton materials - colour everywhere. Except
from the air, where India still looks dun.
