Women of Thar
One of the first things that one notices when entering the Thar desert are the women and their attire. Splashes of vibrant colors against the monotone backdrop. Almost everything else is a shade of brownish grey, including the desert sands, skies, mud and straw, camels and cattle, pottery, wells and rope. Always dressed as though going to a wedding, the women spend the entire day carrying water, cooking, keeping house, and even constructing and building houses. |
