The Banjara are renowned for their highly colourful textiles, often embellished with mirrors and intricate embroidery and produced using natural resources. Created to satisfy the needs of the tribe, and occasionally incorporating shells, beads, mirrors and tassels for decoration, the Banjara technique is unique in India and a celebration of the strength of the women who practise it. This book illuminates their history and investigating their genetic and linguistic links with the European Roma. Photographs by documentary photographer Tim McLaughlin illustrate the highest-quality pieces of Banjara embroidery and costume, both historic and contemporary.
