I am an Indian photographer, passionate about exploring different cultures through photography. These photographs are about my tryst with the Bharwad (Indian Shepherd) Community.
Some stories were observed & uncovered from a tacit bond with the community. It led me to capturing these photographs which explore my fascination for this community. Mustache, Turban, handwoven clothes, gold & silver ornaments, colorful attire and a very strong attitude is what males from this community are known for. I am sharing with you some of the selected photographs of “Bharwad/Shepherd” Males from my collection “WEDDING OF COLORS”

This Community is still rooted to its tradition
Smoking is what their day starts with
ATTITUDE
You will always find “Bidi” (Indian cigarette) in one hand
Smoking “bidi” the Indian cigarette
WAITING…
Morning Conversations
Shoots from this angle complement their attitude
This is their normal dressing, a short frock like top and a long piece of cloth wrap “dhoti” around the body in bottom
The one who is looking towards the camera is the Handsome Groom
Sometimes you will even find long beard
Mighty Mustache
Loved the detailing on his jacket
Another Groom and his father

Rings and bracelet are the common ornaments which you will find on their hands
