"Here's a picture of a woman grinding wheat, the daily bread for her family. Living on the hills at 8500ft, with no access to electricity and machinery the people of this village have built the grinding machine(on the left side of the image) which runs with the force of water flowing down the hills. These are supposed to be having different gears to maintain the speed. There are a couple of these huts in the village which are typically used by the women after the harvest."
