Exquisite portraits, Kieron. A fascinating history too as I was interested in the Indo-Aryan heritage. We all come from each other!
Beautiful people. So important to preserve these vestiges of culture against corporate spurred global homogenization.
Genuine joy!
these photos are superb!🙂
Delightful images
How much sweetness and wonder 🌬️🌼💌🌼
Their expressions are so lively—how adorable they are! The red on their hands is from henna. The color coordination of their outfits is truly beautiful.
That is extraordinarily beautiful!!💙
Such wonderful expressions!! Joyful!! 💙
Great shots!
Beautiful people and some great shots.
Their smiles are beautiful. I remember getting a mendhi tattoo on my wrist & having to cover it up with bracelets or a watch for work. I was corporate management. I'd sit in a boring meeting & fiddle with my wrist reminding me that my job wasn't who I really was. It took me 20 years to break free
Wonderful portraits. Really beautiful.
Beautiful girls!!
What beautiful braids!
Fascinating photos! Love that beautiful smile on the girl! Thank you for sharing them and the narrative, Kieron.💙
beautiful photographs and girls.
Beautiful portraits, each special, capturing true emotions & expressions. It’s only lately I’ve noticed-tho it should always have been obvious fr/the title of your acct-the last 2 tribes esp are rapidly dwindling. Sad their unique customs may go w/their assimilation-be it willing or forced on them🥺.
Very inyetesting. Have any gendtic studies been done?
The eyes 🤩🤩🤩
