The influence of global consumer society can be seen in the shop display and signage, but the bright textiles represent traditional Indian dress, described by a phonetic spelling of sari. This photograph comes from a series of images of Kolkata, or Calcutta, that McPhee describes as "the story of past and present, of the evolution from colony to independence and beyond." --- RELATED WORKS --- CITATIONS --- IMAGES
