About the Image(s)
This photograph was captured during a visit to a village near Hyderabad, where these tribal women live, preserving their rich cultural heritage and distinctive style of dress. The image portrays them engaged in the traditional practice of hand-churning curd??”an age-old method once widely used in earlier times??”reflecting their deep-rooted customs and timeless way of life.

A living legacy indeed, Firdaus. The colors of dress tell a story in themselves. My eye goes first to the hat on the left and her focus pushes me to the action on the right. Is it staged or can anyone visit and catch these sights? Posted: 04/05/2026 17:14:47
Hi Michael, Thank you so much for your feedback, well in this village they do practise age old traditions, any one can visit, and see these activities, however with regard to this picture they wanted to show us their tradition so in way it is staged. Posted: 04/08/2026 06:44:24

Hi Annmarie, Thank you so much yes their dress and jewellery is indeed unique, but unfortunately this tradition may die down as younger generation are not adopting to this culture, and if you plan to visit India Hyderabad do visit this village I can help you out it is open to any one who wants to witness their culture.
