Most of the shopping on Dal Lake involves highly mobile “shops” – Shikaras (local boats) of varying sizes.
Some are elaborately decorated, others are not decorated at all.
However, some goods need more opportunity for both “display” and “shelter” than a Shikara can provide.
Such walled, roofed establishments are still accessible via Shikaras.
This series’ next few chapters will look at those who are most especially “targeted” by almost all of Dal Lake’s traders: tourists.
