Abey

An elderly woman (abey or grandmother) from Ladakh stands sizes up the viewer even as we take in the color and grace of her traditional attire.

Her outfit consists of a heavy, woolen chupas (long, warm robe), which is typically a deep red, maroon, or earthy brown, suited to the cold, mountainous environment of Ladakh. The chupa is adorned with intricate patterns along the borders, often embroidered with geometric designs in bright colors, showcasing the skillful craftsmanship of the region. her bright gold earrings stand out against this backdrop reflecting a young soul behind the graceful face.
