A rural scene in Rajasthan, where women are milking a family cow by hand. This traditional method of milk production is widespread in rural India and is often part of daily life in farming villages. Milking is traditionally often carried out by women, whilst the whole family, including the children, helps with household chores and animal care. Cows are considered sacred in Indian culture and are a vital source of livelihood for the rural population. – Khuri – 1990
