Kashmir village of Kaoosa



My Kashmiri friend offered to take me to the village of Kaoosa to see some Kashmiri textile work in progress. He is involved in the wholesale business of select handicrafts, and some of the craftsmen he works with reside in this small village. We had to park the SUV closer to the entrance of the village, since its inner roads became too narrow. Women washed their dishes and clothing in the small creek. A horse waited patiently, its cart piled with manure. Women walked on the narrow path, expertly balancing large aluminum pots on their heads.

Thank you for the comment. Being able to meet the local people is what made the trip so special. I wouldn't miss it....
