A matka is an Indian clay pot traditionally used to store and keep water cold.

“Delhi is thirsty. I am using matkas to provide drinking water to poor people.”
-Alag Natarajan

We met Matka Man by chance, on an early morning wander around New Delhi. He invited us to his house, offered breakfast, and told us his story.
