Summary

Description
English: Photograph of Punjabi women performing 'Kikkli' (alt. spelt as 'Kikli'), a traditional Punjabi folk dance.
"Kikli is another folk dance very popular with young girls. It is linked to a folk-song called Kikli. In this dance, two girls stand facing each other. They cross their arms, holding right hand with left and left hand with right. They are now prepared to try their vigour, moving round and round in a fast tempo. This is known as kikli, and is accompanied by folk songs." (description taken from source)
Date likely circa first half of 20th century

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
