The Bondas are probably the most primitive of the tribal groups living in Southern Orissa State, India. The ladies wear a short skirt, beads and very little else. The men still hunt with bow and arrow and come equipped with these to their weekly market.
This is a great series, Michael! A fascinating cultural catalogue!
Thanks, ElRobbo – I’ve got about a thousand images of this type, but my RedBubble portfolio is already too big. I think I’ll delete the wildlife images and upload more people – RedBubble is top heavy with animals and a little short on people.
i MUST AND WILL GO THERE, ITS JUST FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

Great shot!

I like this shot Michael, the rich colours contrast really well with the background. Looks like tricky lighting too.
