Back in Rajasthan...finding a lot of old gorgeous textiles and making new ones....here are a FEW of the new ones-- pakistani hand embroidered cushions--most amazing group ever for me.

Faces of India

Carrying a load

Throughout India, one still sees women carrying heavy loads on their heads--not only things they have purchased at the markets, but also things they are carrying for work. These women are human transportation vehicles.
The last  picture below shows a woman whose  job is to carry wood and supplies to construction workers.
Evidently the load of wood weighed about 50 pounds.
She still manages a smile when her picture is taken.

One hour  from Jaipur, the splendid Samode Palace is well worth the drive!
