Preparing Chai in Mumbai in in Mumbai, India

Preparing Chai in Mumbai

by Gladys Lancaster

A vendor balances a heavy brass kettle on a charcoal stove in a narrow Mumbai lane, the lid catching a sharp glare from the clear afternoon sun while a faint grease sheen spreads across its curved surface. Nearby, a chipped ceramic cup sits on a worn wooden counter, ready for chai, while a peeler and mortar rest among scattered spices in the background. The scene is framed by peeling paint and tangled electrical wires, showing the tactile reality of street-side preparation. A white dog rests in the shade of a nearby auto-rickshaw, watching the steam rise, anchoring the moment in the everyday rhythm of the city without any staged arrangement.
