When the Tiger was Killed

When the Tiger was Killed... The only available photograph of my maternal grandmother Sharadabai Burde(in the center) is from this group picture taken in the village of Hirekerur in rural Karnataka, after a neighbor hunted down a menacing tiger. To her left (third from right in the picture) is my mother. Name of the original photographer is not known. We didn't know the existence of this picture till 1973, when my mother visited the village as a historian to study the temples, and recalled having lived there as a child. Also notice in the photograph : the 18 yard sarees worn by the ladies, and the bare feet of everybody.
