Dusting for gold


These women are gathering the dust outside a gold jewellery making shop in Bandra west.They will later sieve the dust for gold particles which is often thrown out while cleaning the shop.

  5. Fascinating shot. There just can't be much of value there or it wouldn't have been thrown out in the first place! Rather sad, I think.

  6. How interesting. So when they collect enough gold dust they sell it?
