Young Female Construction Worker, Madhya Pradesh K__34287
Although this looks like a domestic scene, this young woman is actually a construction worker at a building site. She works for hours in the hot sun carrying gravel to make concrete.
Bandhavgargh, Madhya Pradesh. Rural Indian women do a surprising amount of hard physical labour in the hot sun, from before dawn to late at night. Their colourful and delicate traditional dress seemed to jar with the dirty sweaty work, but they seemed happy enough and engaged in friendly banter with me. They were also at ease with being photographed.
