01-Apr-2026

This photograph depicts the mutual affection, traditional welcome, and attire of Baiga tribal women. The women appear with simplicity, giving a glimpse of their daily lives. It is evident that they are married, as they wear bangles on their hands, have sindoor on their foreheads, and red bindis.

When they meet each other or welcome someone, they greet with smiles and hugs. Their traditional sarees reflect their cultural identity. All the women have the pallu of their sarees draped over their foreheads, with the end (aanchal) facing forward, indicating that they have gathered for a special or sacred household occasion.
