Beautiful Women in their homes

This is picture of a home in Dalmit Village, Uttarkashi District, Uttaranchal. Homes in this HImalayan village are made of beautifully carved panels of wood and the roofs are made of stone slabs. This stone slabs get hot really fast and do not lef off trapped heat easily, making it the ideal construction material in this cool part of the country. Women in Uttaranchal are beautiful and wear a lot of jewelry. They take care of children and also work in the fields. The men become potters and trekking guides.
