The image showcases a Tamil woman gracefully standing outdoors, her direct gaze capturing our attention. In her hands, she holds a water pot with remarkable ease and confidence. The photograph is part of the renowned collection "Der Indische Kulturkreis in Einzeldarstellungen" by Georg Muller, published in Munich in 1926. It offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Asia and highlights the significance of water-fetching as an integral part of daily life for women in this region.
