A construction worker hauling morter at the Nahargarh Hotel near Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan, India. Because she was not in her village, cultural modesty demanded that she keep her face covered. Women were frequently employed in construction work to carry heavy loads while the men did the actual construction. AIMG_5468
