Mannu’s smile lights up his face, as he sits by the streets of Old Delhi offering Sattu Ghol, a popular summer drink. Mannu, a daily wage laborer, takes pride in serving this cooling drink made from roasted chana dal powder mixed with sugar and iced water. His brothers join him in this venture during the summer, preparing the drink every morning for their customers.
With two metal buckets filled with Sattu Ghol, Mannu attracts customers like Zehuruddin, who eagerly gulp down the refreshing beverage. The streets of Old Delhi are filled with the sweet aroma of Sattu Ghol, drawing in both locals and tourists alike.
