As a photography student i went there to do my assignment on journalism. As being a jain i was hesitating to go there and at last my friend convinced me to tie a handkerchief and took me.As i entered there was a huge crowd of auctioneer biding each fish.I went around that place to find some interesting subject and then started to take photos.
