Kutchi women

I have been trying to improve my blog all through this week and its a good test for my patience!

Searching for the right layout,editting pictures to use as background,trying various color theme combinations!I think i have reached half way to what i wanna have it look like.I shall leave at this for now.

So,i was talking about the sartorial elegance of kutchi women in the previous post.Here are a few pictures from ludiya.

Most of them are immensely photogenic and i noticed how some women refused to pose for some foreign travellers,but they obliged quite well when i asked them.I still dont know why.

Kutchi women are intrinsically hospitable,hard working and make all the heavy jewellery they adorn look so effortless.Their dressing is very similar to that of rajasthan and sindh.

Most of the women are into weaving/pottery which also provides them a decent earning from selling it to the travellers.

Their jewellery is heavy and there is practically one for every part of the body!
 The disc like thick white bangles are something thats unique to this region.They are almost stitched to the arms and no freedom from it even while sleeping or bathing!

Korah(in the pic) was bangle-d  when she turned 7 and has had it since.She told me that they consider it a symbol of womanhood and they change them every year(phew!that was relieving)
