img_0840: These guys are great. They sell essential oils whole-sale to anybody. All the shops in the markets buy from them and then charge 2x or 3x the cost. All the oils are 150 rupees a bottle (about 5 teaspoons worth), except a few that are 300 rupees. That's US $3 or $6 a bottle. They have, I think, 96 varieties including Sandalwood (very famous from Mysore), Jasmine, Rose, Water Lilly (keeps away mosquitos), Lotus, all kinds of stuff. I bought about 12 bottles from them and they took me to their house and fed me some dessert stuff made from honey, almonds and some other stuff. It was really good but very rich. Very nice people.
