Ladakhi Lady in a Tibi

 

 

An amiable nature is reflected in the warm smile of a Ladakhi woman whose face is weathered from years of living in the cold air and bright sunshine of a high-altitude home. The distinctively shaped tibi, a regional headdress worn by Ladakhis, is inspired by an ancient Chinese cap.

Alchi, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir
