EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of rural life in India, with a Van Gari woman leading her oxen through the lush, green countryside. The Van Gari, also known as the Bangari or Vangari, are a community of traditional cattle herders and farmers who have lived in India for centuries. In this image, the woman is shown wearing a simple yet colorful sari, her head adorned with a traditional headpiece, as she skillfully guides her oxen along the dusty path. In one hand, she carries a large basket filled with textiles, likely freshly woven or dyed fabrics, which she will sell in local markets or to merchants passing through. The oxen, strong and powerful, plod along steadily, pulling a cart laden with goods. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, one where the rhythms of nature and the simple pleasures of rural life still hold sway. The photograph, taken in the Bombay Presidency, now known as Mumbai, offers a glimpse into India's rich agricultural and textile history, and serves as a reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of its people.
