Ellora Trade City!
The street adjacent to the main road, renamed the Theatre Street was bustling with activity, a sharp contrast from three years ago when it was a narrow street with hardly any human activity.
Luxurious carriages arrived on the Theatre Street as poshly dressed men and women got down one after another. There was a queue of uniformed youths, the staff of the place. They offered valet services, bringing the carriages to a parking lot.
When the place was originally a shopping street, the road was narrow. The buildings too were arranged in a haphazard manner. But now, all of them had been demolished. And standing in their place was a ten-storey building, with each floor serving as a theatre.
On the ground floor were artists of small, but decently recognised troupes. They performed to smaller audiences. The higher the floor, the greater the troupe's renown, and so were the customers visiting to watch their plays.
