Masked dancers at Ura village festival near Bumthang, Bhutan

Mask dance was one of the most eagerly awaited dances at the Ura village festival near Bumthang in Bhutan. Colourful attires, fearful masks and music which was certainly not soft was an experience we were happy not to have missed. All these costumes and the masks are manifestations of deep rooted beliefs on which this society lives. The power of faith and tradition is amazing.

Changing colours of the leaves from the morning walk

Pictures from the morning walk today As the winter recedes, one can see several changes around. The leaves start changing their colours and ultimately they take a bow. There is this tree near our place which throws up spectacular transition of colours around this time each year. Happened to pick up some nice pictures today morning. (shot on Fujifilm X100V)
