Hampi bazaar and its monkeys, Part One

Hampi, Karnataka, India, November 2010. The Hampi bazaar is a place were people, cows, dogs, crows, monkeys and cats used to live in a state of mutual tolerance. The man briefly interviewed is Hanuman, a famous book seller in Hampi Bazaar. Unfortunately, the bazaar was destroyed recently by the local government in a bid to reorganize Hampi temples and ruins within a controlled garden, thus ousting its former inhabitants. I dedicate these short movie to the memory of the displaced, wishing also the monkeys have survived through those troubled times. Filmed by C. Abegg, 2010. This video shows how it looks in early 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgKQm3G5a10 And the part two: http://youtu.be/L4Aid4pJBWk
