The only time am not irritated by phone notifications is when it says indiaInMotion has a new video... great job once again
Yes, agree with you 😀
Same here....
Exactly 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I don't need National Geographic or any "Knowledge channel" of that sort to see this beauty.
Thank you for these videos despite the lockdown. You are my sutra for entertainment.
What a great and rich culture of laddakh 🇮🇳
They live happily with the limited resources with toughest condition of country.
U should visit here once, m from this monastery
@@sodiumta3239 yes obviously whenever I got opportunity to visit this beautiful laddakh
I have always been fascinated by the Cham dances, they so colorful and unlike anything I have ever seen. Always wondered about the different masks worn by the dancers, thanks for the info. Enjoyed it, the oracles are really intriguing, hope I get to witness it someday... Thank you Saravana.
Each mask represent different god, goddess, spirit whose main task is the protection of the teaching (of Buddha). Most of them are malevolent spirits (Bon - a native religion of Tibet before Buddhism came in 8AD) who lived in Tibet before Buddhism came to Tibet. Indian Tantric Master Padma Sambhava in 8AD was invited in Tibet to subdue to spirit on the urging of Shantha Raksita an abbot of Nalanda university who was preaching/introducing Buddhism in Tibet for the time on the request of Tibetan King. Shantha Rakshita faced challenges from the malevolent spirit. So both Shantha Rakistita and Guru Padma Sambhava are regarded as the co-founder of Buddhism in Tibet, which is popularly known as Tibetan Buddhism or Vajrayana.
Padma Sambhava subdued all the spirit through his Tantric power and made them into the protector of Dharma (Buddhism).
Aacha hai matho mai gya tha aacha jagha hai I watched this festival live...
Glad to watch again
Being born and brought up in ladakh itself ... some facts are still unknown to me. Thank you for all your incredible videos..🙏🙏🙏
Always love the way you document the film..Respect Sir
What a rich heritage ❤ so fascinating.
Always waiting for your beautiful videos
Today I was fortunate to stumble upon this channel. I watched the video that first attracted me and knew I had to see more. At the time of writing I have only watched 3 of them, but right now I am very much looking forward to seeing them all. India In Motion, I look forward to your new vids yet to come and your older ones I am sure I will enjoy and I look forward to sharing this 'find' with my friends, thank you, keep up the excellent work.
The feats that lhas perform through the oracles, sounds just like when my ladakhi friend described Kalachakra festival. Thank you for putting this out for the world to see, Saravana. 💚
Nobody showed us this Ladakh you are the first person showing in such depth 🙏 Thank you.
Yessss my beautiful village!!! Nagrang is very auspicious and I wait for Nagrang every year. Thank you.
Eternal Gratitude and Appreciation for sharing. Namaste
Each episode is a story. It brings out the emotions of people featured so beautifully. This is not a travel video, this is not a guide to a visitor - this is a peek into the life of wonderful people, whose each aspect of emotions are so well captured. Thanks a ton.

Many in the audience are wearing masks - protection from Cold, or Corona?
March 8th was the day when the first cases of Covid were reported in Ladakh. So a lot of people came wearing masks to the festival. Their level of awareness is amazing.
Thank you do making this video of ladakh🎉 and u added the sound of spituk gustor on matho nagrangs chams😅

Amazing work sir and thank you for not capturing our village Oracle's.
I find almost everything new which I haven't seen somewhere else. Nice documentry better those awful series.
Beautiful 👍. Thanks for sharing. Have you considered making somewhat longer duration documentaries about life in changthang, in todman , festivals of nesang and other subjects , incorporating details left out in the shorter versions. I would love to see that . God bless you !
Yes. Ofcourse. That is my long term goal. These short videos are a great learning experience and I hope to put that experience to good use soon.
@@indiainmotion 👍
India In Motion 👍
U r amazing ❣️
The only hope during this lockdown !
Knowledgeable content.. Thanks💖One question.. Have you yourself seen lha when they are painted black? Like what kind of vibe comes around at that time?
I was in Matho for 5 days and saw the Lhas 4 times. The first 3 days they came in their regular human form and the 4'th and last day they came in their Nagrang form. I was under the impression that the Nagrang form will be very similar to the previous days, just the bodies painted black. But they had transformed into something more primitive, more wild. There was an electric atmosphere in the place whenever they were around. Everything from their movements to the sounds they made were all so primitive, it was as if I was transported back in time and was witnessing the ceremony in their original form hundreds of years back.
@@indiainmotion wow.. It's just so vibrant to hear that... This kind of vibe comes within everyone when there are some ceremonies related to supreme powers going around like the one in Mandi Shivratri fair when the Devtas come around and then the people accompanying him play those large musical instruments. The sound of those instruments is so divine, one just get lost within God.
NICE VIDEO
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Mr. Saravana (i hope i spelt that right) amazing video as always you just said huge crowds and i can see a lot of people wearing masks in this video was this shit before or after all this corona virus panic ?
This was the day after the first cases in Ladakh were reported. So people were being careful and the crowds were actually very less compared to the previous years.
Please tell us little bit about you, i don't know anything about you except you are a legend
😍😍😍
🙏🙏🙏
Good 🙏🙏💐💐
Nice bro
👍👍👍👍
