A row of Tibetan women in traditional chuba and ornate coral-and-turquoise headdresses, holding colorful umbrellas, gathered for a community celebration.

Women in Traditional Dress

Dharamshala · Kangra District, Himachal Pradesh , India

From the collection The Diaspora in India

A community celebration in Dharamshala. The women’s elaborate headdresses and the umbrella colors suggest one of the major calendar gatherings — a Dalai Lama birthday, a Saka Dawa, or one of the public welcomes that have marked life in McLeod Ganj across decades. Exact occasion pending confirmation.
