The textile bazaar that stretches almost 2km, from Maharagama to Pamununuwa, just southeast of Colombo, is a highly competitive place, with hundreds of tiny shops and stalls vying with each other for the throngs of customers who visit each day. This salesman’s job is to sing, dance, and shout to passing people, extolling the quality and value of the wares inside one of the little shops. When he saw me, he popped back into the shop and reappeared in wig and sunglasses to ham it up for the camera. Sri Lanka, April 2018.
