Women of Rajasthan wear exquisitely contrasting and colorful clothes. The yellow wearings of women of Rajasthan are called Peeli Lugdi, literally meaning yellow clothing of females. Most of the times, women of Rajasthan are found in peeli lugdi only.
As you will note in the below photographs, the women of Rajasthan are very shy. But they have equal hardship to face in life. Still, they are always seen smiling and cheering!
I have tried to photograph the real women of Rajasthan. Do you like the photographs? :)
Amazing photography again. I liked the close up and the lady at the handpump.
ReplyDeleteNice tribute to women of Rajasthan!
ReplyDeleteThe women are so sweet! The colors they wear are amazing! I occasionally purchase silver jewelry components crafted in Rajasthan. Their work is beautiful! ~Val
ReplyDelete@ Neha: Thank you. And I liked it too!
ReplyDelete@ Thérèse: My pleasure!
@ Miss Val's Creations: Oh! That's great to know!!
I see a colorful lifestyle....a way of life. Simply simple, and amazing. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful - so full of color and smiles. And the women do indeed seem to be hard working and industrious ... yet still are so beautiful and seem so happy!
ReplyDelete@ cyclopseven: My pleasure!
ReplyDelete@ Clytie: A rare combination!
The pictures show us so much of life in Rajasthan. The women seem very industrious and I like their yellow garb. It is lovely brightened with the floral embroidery. Clearly, they must work hard - but that is the way of life for them and I am sure they shoulder it, probably with little complaint!
ReplyDeleteI've seen photos of the brillantly colored turban of the men. I would so love to visit there.
@ RNSANE: Righto! Women of Rajasthan are industrious, yet keeping up with being woman! Their life is filled with hardship, but still beautiful and full of happiness; no complaints whatsoever. So nice of you to remind me of the brilliantly colored Rajasthani Turbans :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos! Nice colours!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI like the third image the best. They do seem quite shy but I love the bold colors they wear! What beautiful women they are.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorites too! :)
DeleteThe colors they wear symbolize their lifestyle — quite colorful.
