I am looking for websites that show photographs of Rajasthani women
(women from the state of Rajasthan, India) for a very special
photo-project. I am searching for a particular woman, she is being
photographed very often because of her stunning green eyes. To see
her, have a look at http://www.papu.nl
It is important that I have results from different countries!
I am prepared to pay more if the results are promising. Thanks! Mirjam / Megam

Hi Megam,

Yes, she has mesmerising eyes. I could look at her for hours. I first
saw her image in a National Geographic magazine, years ago. By chance,
there was a follow up story, showing the same lady years later. A
journalist located her.

Check out National Geographic, Australian Geographic and Reader's
Digest. I am sure she appeared in all three.

Good luck,

Phil

Thanks for both of the above reactions!
I know the site jpsviewfinder... I mention that one on our site
already. And NO, she is not Steve MacCurry's Afghan woman! I would
feel very honoured if this woman would be on the cover of National
Geographic! Many people have that reaction, but Steve McCurry's woman
is from Afghanistan and 'mine' is from India (Rajasthan). She does
have green eyes, but that's the only thing they have in common, I
guess.

Hi Megam,

My apologies for my ignorance and faded memory.

I even looked at your "papu" site and the photo. I am sorry that I
confused both photos. Thank you for directing me to McCurry's site
however. I think I might just stare at those eyes again for a few
hours more. The cliche that a picture/painting is worth a thousand
words is true. The earthy beauty of the Afghan lady shows every
concieviable emotion within her single image.

All the best with your search,

Kind regards, Phil

As she belongs to a Gypsy community, it is hard to track her
whereabouts. However, if you can send a photographer to Pushkar Fair
in November you will be able to get not one but several women with
blue eyes.

Dear Indiapreneur,

No, I know exacly where this woman is, I stay with her quite often.
But she told me she has been photographed by many photographers and I
am looking for photographers who took her picture. I found a few
already (see http://www.papu.nl), but there must be many more out
there! From Japan, and Italy, for instance, she remembers. She is
indeed a Bhopa (Bopa) woman.

Thanks,
Megam
