•Pappu Devi, known for her captivating "tigress eyes," is back in the spotlight two decades after her photo at the Pushkar fair went viral.
•Her old image, featuring deep, yellow-green eyes, has been widely circulated on social media and printed on postcards and tourist memorabilia.
•Currently in her late 30s, Devi runs a pavement stall in Pushkar selling handmade Banjara-style bags and souvenirs, including postcards of her famous photo.
•She is married to a safari driver and has three daughters, two of whom have inherited her striking light-colored eyes.
•Devi clarified that she is not from the Banjara community but was advised to dress like one because it complemented her eyes.
