This is the picture of Janamma, a weaver in the village of Pochampally, near Hyderabad, India. Pochampally is famous for its weaving craft known as Ikkat. Janamma is one of the veterans in the village and has been involved in the craft from as long as she can remember.

Caught her yarn winding from hank to bobbin, something she can do almost effortlessly as seen from her facial expression.
