The various styles of deal-making in Bihar - see these unique traits of trade here...
Two people bring their hands together under a cloth and exchange offers on an animal at the Sonepur Mela by extending a particular number of fingers to signify the price offer. If the other one doesn't agree, his face says to! A new offer is made. When both parties agree, they smile and NO ONE else knows the sale price! This way, the market is protected and a single deal does not sway or affect the rest of the market's pricing mechanisms.
Surely this is a case study for the best Business Schools in the world - financial secrecy in trade.
Also, see the woman buying milk with coins neatly laid out on the ground so that the man can count them!
Only in India, surely!?
