Faces of India
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.

Little girl looks lovely with colourful dress and jewellery.
This is the first I've heard of this practice. I wonder how many more years he'll be able to or be willing to do this.
Superb , recently we had been to an act , where it was the same case . Man dressed up like woman , and very difficult to identify it .
What a delicate and lovely face!
nice photo
Wonderful shot and interesting about the boys playing the female roles. That reminds me of Shakespearean plays that used to have males in all the female roles.
And esp liked the faces of India series and the brief story behind each.
A very interesting blog indeed.

Do they boys really like to dress up as girls? Hmm, there could be worse jobs to have.
