Caretakers of the Grounds

These tough ladies keep things looking beautiful here on Aravind campus. They work hard, but from watching them, I'd say they have a bit of fun doing it. I was wandering around near sunset, and they asked for a photo. How could I say no?

(And no, that's not a velociraptor talon in her hand ((do velociraptors have large talons?)) it's a hand scythe.)

Side: sorry for the grainy texture of the photo... my semi-auto settings were off. But I still love the sentiment of it.
