 |
| The 'Saara-vita' seller. |
 |
| The illumination for the tray is done by a small acetylene flame issuing from a hypodermic needle. The acetylene is generated by water dripping on calcium carbide and is led to the needle by a cut plastic tube from a discarded intra-venous set. |
 |
| The 'saara-vita' containing a betel leaf, arecanut, tobacco, spices and coloured coconut scrapings. The price was Es.30/- each. |
 |
| Old 'saara-vita' seller fast asleep before his ware. The acetylene lamp is burning bright illuminating his tray. |
