She kept smiling coyly throughout our conversation, but the minute I asked her if I could click a photograph, her face changed. It was such a natural reaction! She was excited...you could see it in her eyes. She jumped up and went back into the house, she was wearing a light jacket which she discarded and probably gave her long hair a pat before coming back to us. She kept saying things in a local dialect that we didn't understand much and we spoke to her in Hindi which she didn't understand. It was a glorious night, everything was drenched in the first rain and we had a swarm of fireflies dispersing the darkness... Some of which would come and sit by the lantern as well. It was pristine... The glow on her face, her subtle smile and the multitude of emotions she shared with us all in that short span of time made the trip really memorable. . . . Her name is Sangita and we met her at the village. . . . #portrait #bythelantern #indianvillage #indianwomen #villagesofindia #villagescenes #darknessandlight #lightandshadow #sangita #beautiful #mutkhel #bhandardhara #offbeatwanderers #maharashtra #india #bangalanonroad (at Mutkhel)
