Muharram in Darjeeling

My town is an exemplary embodiment of communal harmony. Sure we have our own set of other dire problems, but religious intolerance is not one of them.
Dàshain, Tihar, Losar, Eid, Easter, Christmas or innumerable other religious days are observed by the whole town with equal enthusiasm.

Hidak-phu: Story of the fast-disappearing Manipuri Hookah

‘Hidak-phu or Hidakki Chapu’, literally translating to ‘medicine pot’, is the traditional Manipuri hookah. 

The Thokchom household in Imphal is one of the last families to produce these. 

I've shot video clips and interviews as well for this.
For those interested in watching the video, do become my Patron at Patereon.com.
