During a visit to the Himalayan district of Ladakh in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India, I caught these Tibetan women in frame who were returning after the Ladakh festival. The festival gives a lot of scope to photographers who love to click portraits.

Photographer: Dipanjan Mitra (Calcutta, India) Registered
Being a software professional since 1999, Dipanjan Mitra always had an intense desire to travel across the Indian terrains. It was long inhibited till 2006 when his journey began with a small digital camera in the state of Karnataka. The world of photography really got him going when he moved on to a relatively higher end digital camera in the form of Canon S5 IS which he had used for around 2 years, trying to learn the magic of shutter and aperture until the real journey began with a Rebel T1i in May 2010. Fascinated by the magic of being behind the lens keeps amazing him every day. He wishes this journey never ends.
