Faces of India – 261 Deer Herder in Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram
Deer Herder in Sri Ravi Shankar Ashram
You may have seen a cowherd or a shepherd or may be a camel herder too but I bet you would have never seen a deerherd (oops is there a word like that at all?) Seeing the woman the only way I could describe was with this word ‘deerherd’ or ‘deer herder’. She was looking after a group (3 to 4) of deer grazing in the lawns of ashram. I was amazed at her work! The deer would wander off the limits of the lawn so the rope around its neck I was told.
This was not a posed pic but an actual scene.
The Art of Living, Sri Ravi Shankar Asram, is a non-profit, educational and humanitarian organization founded in 1981 by the world renowned humanitarian and spiritual teacher – Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
Faces of India,
Faces of India is a series through which I intend to portray the various characters of my country whom I met during my travels. I bring back souvenirs, frozen moments from my travels, why not some memories of people I have met and interacted during the travels. Faces of India is a weekly series in my blog since MARCH 2011.

Although it doesn’t sound fair, but interesting to see a deerherd!
Never heard of anybody tending to deer !
Great pic 🙂
Now, that’s one of a kind of a job, and picture too. 🙂
awesome..i really enjoy this series in your blog 🙂
It’s quite a funny sight! Kudos to you for capturing it 🙂
Very unusual. We have deer around here but they’re all wild, and I can’t imagine somebody trying to herd them.
Nice Capture 🙂
Looks like she is keenly observing what you’re doing though. Nice click, reminds me of my Grand-aunt’s calf, they tie her up the same way 🙂
Dukhi Deer…
Nice shot and yah first time seeing a deer in this condition.
Many Ashrams keep Deers, Peacocks and Rabbits in their garden but I have never seen a Deer managed with a rope around its neck.

Nope, never seen a deer herder before.
