Today is Ganesha Fair in Paris' little India !

The Paris' Little India district comes alive for this colourful procession,
leaving from the Sri Manicka Vinayakar Alayam Temple.
Crowds line the streets of the 18th arrondissement to watch this free
parade.
Traditionally, coconuts are cracked open as the flower and fruit decked
cart of the god Ganesha [गणेश] is carried through the throng.
Before the procession, a religious ceremony is held at the temple.

Little India in Passage Brady...

This post for indian cooking lovers

The Passage Brady cuts bld. de Strasbourg
from fbg St. Denis to fbg. St. Martin

This is the section going from fbg. St. Martin to bld. de Strasbourg At Velan shop for catering,

you can find indian items miscellanea, from food to saris

When you're finished with your shopping you just cross the way,
seat down at Passage de Pondichéry and look at the menu...

... a large choice of north and south indian dishes is
just waiting for you to taste... good appetite !

all the shop are closed now,
and Brady's ready to go to bed.

Next time (asap) I'd like to try some Kerala dishes,
which is possible if you ask one day ahead by phone.

(Passage Brady - M° Chateau-d'Eau)

Last year, on November 8th, around 3am, a major fire broke out in an apartment building
overlooking the alley's glass roof. 150 firemen had a hard work until 7 in the morning.

And now, (thanks to Victor), a bit of the daily atmosphere in Brady...

Pondichéry au passage Brady

au coeur de Paris, ses restos, son épicerie de Pondichéry, sa lumière et sa somptueuse
verrière...
