India diversity is amazing, as Dalai Lama says co existing of major and small religious traditions surviving along with is examples to the world, however small things happens occasionally,however mostly they live with harmony. It is understandable that sometimes there are problems and it is bound to happen with population of billion, even family with 4 or 5 member often fights.

There is a place around Amritsar district of Punjab known Hari ke pattan ", the place is so amazing and beautiful and two rivers sutlej and Beas join and form a beautiful natural scenery . A lake nearby and bird sanctuary at harike Lake provides as a sanctuary for migratory birds from Russia, and other frigid zones of eartht during winters , , , the mango trees on banks of rivers and around roads provides for such an amazing scenery. Plzzzzzzzzzz if you can capture that even as industrialization is fast approaching and there is possiblity of a change plzzzzz if you can record that in it's pure and natural form as it is today and is so amazing

Thank you,, I managed to get some prime spots during those festivals. Mostly due to Covid. The Matho festival would be fully packed during the normal years but March 2020 was when they had the first few cases in Ladakh and hardly any people showed up to the festival. Don't think I would get the opportunity ever again.

If Michelangelo were to make a video, this is how it would be. Saravana - you set standards so high that it can become a text book of how to make a documentary. Sikkim by Satyajit Ray and Ladakh by you are gold standards, without any doubt.

@indiainmotion 2 жыл бұрын

Haha.. thank you for the kind words Mr.Nagaraj. However the views and watch time on my channel would suggest otherwise. They both nosedived after my last video about the Monlam festival. Guess, people are tired of the monastery content and looking for something new.
