the woman is an actress of the ramyatra. how can I explain a ramyatra. A ramyatra is a type of drama which is very popular in ruralIndia. the actors are very loud and dramatic. this is their speciality. at the time when no T.V or radio or anything like that were available, these yatras were a chief enterthainment of the people. this culture is slowly fading out due to the spread of other means of entertainment :(
my dad called this group to our ancestral house for a performance. It was highly appreciated by everyone! :D

I murmur under moon and stars; In brambly wildernesses
I linger by my shingly bars; I loiter round my cresses.

And out again I curve and flow to join the brimming river,
for men may come and men may go But I go on forever.

yeah, exactly! we paid them to perform that drama in front of us. It was a great experience. they were acting in a play of Ramayana (I think you have heard of it).
