Little India in Bangkok is a vibrant neighbourhood near Chinatown (fig.) which is for a large part inhabited by people of Indian descent, such as this woman wearing a traditional saree in yellow.

 

The quarter consists largely of a commercial area with typical Indian shop houses, restaurants with Indian food, and a busy bazaar known as Phahurat Market.

This lively place at times reminds much of Old Delhi's Chadni Chawk area (fig.). It is also home to a large Sikh temple, which is known as Gurudwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha (fig.).

 

This religious complex with its chattri-style elevated pavilion and golden dome seems somewhat squeezed into the many narrow alleys surrounding it.
