Woman who supplied water to households in the desert city of Jaipur were often called "water maids". Dressed in traditional Rajasthani attire, these women could balance several round shaped water-filled vessels on their head. The vessels at the bottom were generally bigger in size while those placed in tiers above gradually tapered. It took enormous skill to do this properly. |
