She looks like an office goer with her bag straddling on her shoulder and hair all neat and tidy.

Hello Indrani!
You post some lovely photos. This woman's face looks sad,especially in contrast to her vibrantly colourful clothes and wares

Another fantastic portrait.

She's beautiful.

She looks tired, even a little bit sad, she is probably a mother trying to earn money for her children. On the other hand, she is beautiful and elegant like many Indian women. I love India.

Good shot. Probably they belong to a particular gypsy community. I was aware of their settlements. I need to refresh myself.

All said and done she is making a honest living.
