Mro or Murong as the tribe calls itself projects a self sufficient society. They grow everything they need for survival and raise livestock for alternative nutrition. After Jhum harvest, a Mro girl is filtering the rice using an indigenous technique.

Taken at: Kafru para, Bandarbans, Bangladesh.

    Wow. Besides capturing just the right moment, her face seems to be a bit lighter than the other tone from a bit of sidelight. Wonderful, strong lines to draw the eye around. Absolutely beautiful.
