Niqab

I found it particularly challenging to photograph the women in Bangladesh. Most would decline to be photographed or turn away when they see my camera. But a few were happy to pose for me. I asked this woman to show off the beautiful henna on her hands. Both Hindus and Muslims wear henna for beauty and as a cultural tradition. In case you're curious, her outfit is called a Niqab. A Burka would have a mesh window or grille across the eyes.
