These are a few of the photographs I’ve come across. I didn’t want to make a long post, so couldn’t upload them all..:(

I couldn’t help appreciating the quality of the photos and also couldn’t help noticing the amount of jewellery women wore those days..:):)

Anyways…I believe these pictures gives us a peek into the culture and tradition of ancient India and an era long forgotten..

I was really happy to come across them.
