Faces of India – 255 from Shimoga Karnataka
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. See more here…
Faces of India Shimoga Karnataka
She is a sweeper employed in Hotel Mayura Gerusoppa or may be she was employed by the Karnataka Tourism authorities there. (I mentioned once before too that the workers here are very dedicated to work. They have kept the surroundings really neat.)
I spotted her early morning sweeping the place clean. The bright pink jacket she wore cheered me up and I felt she is approachable. My mind was already working on her pic for my faces of India series from Shimoga Karnataka.
Both she and her husband are employed there as cleaners. Since they aren’t permanent employees and work on temporary basis the salary isn’t sufficient for the family she said. When I asked what she likes most about her work, she replied she enjoyed seeing the various tourists there. No one talks to her though. She felt happy talking to me she said.
Charming.
Indrani…i always love ou faces of India series.
A great salute to the lady with most beautiful smile on her face.Its one thing to do a job and its another thing to do the job dedicate. Former speaks how sincere you are as an employees while later speaks how beautiful you are as a person.

Our Silent Social Helpers. The lady is beautiful with her vibrant smile x
Talking to local people is so much more interesting than just staying in a fancy resort! Great shot.
You should stay happy in whatever you do. Perfect example 🙂
I like her smile. It’s a genuine one. Thanks for sharing her story 🙂

You are reason of many such smiles. A wonderful initiative, Indrani 🙂
That contentment which you have is just shines from you . Loved this capture.
Loved the happiness, which was coupled and augmented by the Cheerful Pink!
So nice of you to feature her. Her smile is a genuine one… 🙂
Good portrait!
A friendly face. It’s sad that even after several decades of independence, some of our fellow citizens are still struggling to earn minimum wages to lead life.
What a lovely face she has.
The people like her are real ambassador of ” swachch Bharat Abhiyan””.
You find the most interesting faces. Or do they find you?
What a job, she looks like a happy woman.
Beautiful portrait! I love her colourful clothes.
Good one Indrani. I like the way you capture such myriad people in their natural elements.
She is smiling and looks happy doing her work. She has kept the surrounding
Swachh.Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your post.
God Blesses the workers
Her expression conveys a lot! It’s really good to see someone works with dedication, which isn’t available everywhere.
No matter what you do, you should be happy.
