Woman and water buffalo, Abhangri, India, 2008

We had a very brief visit with this woman who farms in a small village in
Southeaster Rajasthan. She lives very much as her ancestors did. Little changes in this part of India. She comforts the buffalo, yet her thoughts seem far away. The folk art on the wall behind her adds environmental context.

That is what I tried to say here, Yves. Those who live by the land in rural India cherish their animals -- they represent life itself. It is no accident that cows are held sacred here.
