Bhil Tribe - Madhya Pradesh - Bhil tribal woman walking & smiling . She is wearing traditional silver ornaments . I was lucky to get an opportunity to click this beautiful photograph in a weekly tribal market in a small tribal village in Madhya Pradesh . Taking about the weekly tribal markets i think these markets play a very important role in the rural economy . weekly market started in the times of barter system . In the language of the tribals of western Madhya Pradesh . haata or saata means to exchange . THe most significant feature of these market is that small farmers , artisans can sell their ware directly without any middlemen . In the era of free market , big companies have started viewing the haats as arenas of their marketing battles . This is the changing the character of the haats .
