This picture I capture on the bank of river ganga in Varanasi. women were drying their washed Sarees in sunlight
There's an amusing story behind this photo.. i spotted this woman and asked for a photo, she agreed and i took a few shots. Then she grabbed my hand, whipped out a henna tube and started doing mendhi all over my hand and arm! (and it wasn't one of the beautiful, skilled designs you can get!) After she finished i said thankyou and offered her a tip, which she refused. She then took me by the hand (again) and lead me and my friend to a shop down the road where she gestured to a bag of chappati flour she wanted us to buy for her! at a few hundred rupees it was only a few pounds for us and we bought it for her. I think this photo was worth it in the end! :)
Taken in Pushkar, Rajasthan, India 2012.
