The Women Of India (Beyond The Cities) – A Photo Essay

The women of India are very profound phenomena. As a solo female traveller, I have bumped into these remarkable women from different parts of the country many times over. As goes the diversity of India, the women in each state have their own unique facial features and style of dressing. It’s so interesting to chitchat with them and notice their nuances, their bashful smiles and a hint of the carefree spirit within them.

I really enjoyed working on this particular photo essay, as it brings out stories of women who don’t live in the cities. The rural India is far more meaningful and evocative. I have tried to gather different shades of these women – their lives, what they do for a living, their hospitality, their demeanour and subtle attributes.
