A Personal Story Behind Pooja Women in Dali

For Pooja, this subject comes from lived experience. Her mother, Chanda, works as a labourer. Since childhood, Pooja has seen her face long days of physical work and daily challenges.
Yet what stayed with her was not the struggle alone. It was her mother’s constant smile. That quiet strength became the foundation of her artistic voice.
