Questa donna Rabari, che io e il mio amico @ram_thaker abbiamo incontrato a Bhuj, nel cuore del Kutch, indossa ancora i simboli distintivi della sua comunità. Il rosso del suo sari e del velo evoca vitalità e radici culturali, mentre i grandi orecchini d'oro, tramandati di generazione in generazione, fanno parte della tradizione nuziale. Spesso vengono donati alla donna al momento delle nozze e diventano un bene prezioso che la accompagna per tutta la vita. Indicano status e appartenenza; più sono grandi ed elaborati, maggiore è il prestigio della famiglia. Il grande cerchio rappresenta continuità e ciclicità (la vita, il tempo, le stagioni), mentre le decorazioni interne possono variare da clan a clan. Tradizionalmente, gli orecchini Rabari erano molto pesanti, al punto da allungare notevolmente i lobi delle orecchie. Oggi, spesso sono più leggeri, ma mantengono lo stesso design circolare. In passato, erano anche considerati protettivi, capaci di allontanare le energie negative o di portare prosperità. È sorprendente come alcune culture in tutto il mondo trasformino un semplice gioiello in un archivio vivente di ricordi. Bhuj, Gujarat, India

While remaining mute, she has an expression that speaks.
Bravo, Frankie_phr.

Yes, in fact I am always very torn whether to insert more or less long descriptions on each photo, to help the viewer contextualize them, or to let the image speak with its language, which very often is already enough.
Thank you @StefanoFerioli
