The Daily Standard has published our selection of 'World Pictures' for almost ten years. It started as a result of seeing so many pictures on the Associated Press wire service that illustrate breaking news, current events, natural wonders, foreign cultures and the human condition. But most of these images could never have fit in our print edition. As of a week ago, The Daily Standard switched to a tier of service from the AP more appropriate for a newspaper of our size. Unfortunately this tier does not have carte blanche access to AP pictures, and we will be retiring our 'World Pictures' feature. Thank you for learning about our world with us through 'World Picts'.

Tribes women dressed up in colorful saris perform indigenous folk dance as they follow worshippers to a sacred grove believed to be the home of the village goddess, in village Guduta, in the eastern Indian state of Odisha, Oct. 21, 2022. India's 110 million indigenous tribespeople scattered across various states and fragmented into hundreds of clans, with different legends, different languages and different words for their gods adhere to Sarna Dharma - a faith not officially recognized by the government. It is a belief system that shares common threads with the world's many ancient nature-worshipping religions. (AP Photo/Altaf Qadri)
