These are all excellent portraits Rajan. One thing that I notice is that these Goan women are all wearing very colorful clothing. Is that a cultural preference?

Steve I can make an 1st hand observation about "the colorful" clothing these women are wearing. I make it from my 2 years in SE Asia. The native peoples, The Montangyards, Hmongs peoples wore colorful dress all the time. To distinguish themselves from the "outsiders".These people were treated terribly by both the French and the Vietnamese. They were mountain people and hated the Vietnamese, French and Chinese equally. They wore the colorful dress as part of their culture, survival in the dense jungle(being seen) and a slap in the face of their oppressors!
I doubt this is the case with these Goa'n women. Only Rajan can educate us on that. But the colorful dress is not uncommon in many Countries.
60F tomorrow!
Have a great day!

Below is an image...it was 1968-1969...not sure when because the film was sent to Kodak and the Return Mailer sent to my home. So It was at least 1 year or 2yrs when this was taken. But definitely 1968-1969 1stTour
