The image showcases numerous Indian men and women diligently picking tea leaves on a lush plantation. Their vibrant traditional costumes add a touch of ethnic charm to the picturesque landscape. The hardworking tea harvesters carry wicker baskets on their backs, symbolizing their dedication and commitment to this labor-intensive task. Each individual's presence contributes to the overall harmony of the farming and country life depicted here. This photograph not only captures an important moment in history but also provides valuable insights into fashion and clothing trends prevalent among Indian communities during that era. It serves as a window into the lives of those who worked tirelessly on these plantations, shaping both their livelihoods and cultural identities.
