A working woman takes a nap on the hour-long boat ride from Mumbai to Elephanta Island. She spent the day selling souvenirs outside the Elephanta Caves, a series of ancient shrines and a modern tourist destination.

A young woman in Mysore, India, works in an incense factory to make agarbatti. She rolls bamboo sticks with charcoal powder and adhesive. The sticks are then sun-dried before they are dipped into aromatic liquids. The Mysore incense will eventually make its way into homes, offices and temples all over the world.
