Ladhaki

A traditional woman from Ladakh stands with a quiet grace, dressed in the distinctive attire that reflects the region’s unique culture and harsh yet beautiful landscape.

Her accessories include traditional jewelry, such as a pahlu (a heavy, ornate necklace) made from coral and turquoise, and large silver earrings. A headpiece or tikka, perhaps adorned with precious stones or metalwork, sits gracefully atop her head, adding to her dignified appearance.

Her face is calm and composed, with a hint of serenity reflecting the peaceful lifestyle of Ladakhi women. This portrait captures the strength and cultural richness of Ladakhi women, as they embody the deep connection to their environment and heritage.
