This Lambadi woman and girl are standing by a stone-capped tomb (dolmen), one among many in a field somewhere in the Gulbarga District, Karnataka. It seems that she has been collecting something (possibly cow dung) in her basket, which she carries back home on her head. The dolmen is an example of the megalithic culture that Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf searched for and studied throughout his long career. |
