“It’s as if a paintbrush has been used to color certain well-chosen elements of the landscape: light green for the tea plantations of Munnar, deep blue for the Andaman Sea, worm ochre for the That Desert, and so on. Sometimes plain, sometimes mingled, the colors titillate the visitor’s eye at every street corner, illuminating a woman’s delicate sari, invading a spice merchant’s perfumed stall, making up the forehead and trunk of majestic elephant.” Asia.fr
