Untouchable

This lady is known in India as a Dalit - people who are at the lowest cast - untouchable. She looked so beautiful and when asked if I can take some photos she was humbled by it and couldn't believe the attention. Half the village starred at us, but she showed us her little neat house and offered food. Normally people would refuse to go near her house, but I loved it. She made herself a lovely home and welcomed us as her guest. She smiled the whole time and and just made me wanna hug her (which I did).
