Mullickghat Flower Market Burns

One of the largest flower markets in all Asia, Mullickghat, in Kolkata, India, burned down Friday night, April 11.  “Over 240 of the 263 stalls were gutted,” a devastating loss, coming just before the Bengali New Year on Monday, a major flower holiday. Many thanks to Sandy Ao for this stunning picture, of a flower seller arranging roses Saturday morning amid the charred remains of the market . HFP will provide a full report on Monday.
