This stunning Jat Dhaneta girl from Gujarat wears a beautifully embroidered ghagra, a reflection of her people’s rich cultural heritage. Her silver jewelry and chunky necklace aren’t just adornments, they symbolize tradition and status. As part of a semi-nomadic pastoralist community, her daily life revolves around tending to cattle, making butter and ghee, and keeping ancestral customs alive.
