These are all excellent portraits Rajan. One thing that I notice is that these Goan women are all wearing very colorful clothing. Is that a cultural preference?

Thank you, Steve.

As Dan has correctly observed, people in Southeast engage in colorful wear.

India has a long history of women adorning themselves in vibrant colours. The Hindu Gods & Goddesses are often depicted in colourful robes and sarees. Weddings & festivals are unthinkable without colour and the festival of Holi has colour among its themes. Similarly, the spices and food range over the spectrum. This is not just a Goan thing, but a pan-Indian phenomenon. In fact, in states like Rajasthan in the north, the colours can be a riot.
