Selling Lemon and Green Chilli, Porbandar

Featured in this video is a girl selling lemon and green chilli on the streets of Porbandar, Gujarat state of India. One can see lemons and green chillies tied on the doorways of various shops on the streets of Porbandar. In India, this is a common sight as people believe it will keep away inauspicious things and bring prosperity to them.

It is believed that Alakshmi (inauspicious thing) will be satisfied by consuming lemons and chillies as they like sour and pungent things. As a result they leave without entering the shop or house.
