    1. Thank you Ritu. I was trying to take the picture surreptitiously, but she noticed and started posing. This is the only picture I clicked as I find pictures of people staring at the camera quite dull. It must be fun to actually be around the tribal folks. Please do share the pictures on your blog.

  4. Wow! She is so colorful and regal. Even though she began posing, the expression on her face is captivating.

  5. What a fabulous photograph. She seems quite stern to me but her colorful attire offsets it a bit. To be honest, she seems to have very masculine features...at least, to me, she does.

  10. She has a look of 'I've been photographed before!' The jewellery is incredible and as usual the colours in Indian photographs are amazing.
