2016 photo100 – #16

This was taken at the Agra Fort, in Uttar Pradesh India. You’ve likely heard of a more famous landmark in the same city, the Taj Mahal.

This young woman was with a family group touring the fort, each of the more beautifully dressed than the next. Her left forearm is covered in an intricate henna tatto.
