(Inde) - Portrait réalisé en 1982 dans un village autrefois perdu dans les montagnes de l’Himachal-Pradesh. Il fallait au moins trois jours d’une marche harassante pour y parvenir. Aujourd’hui, il est accessible aux véhicules tout terrain.
Depuis plus de 20 ans l’Etat fédéral a entrepris la construction de sept barrages successifs sur la « Malana river » pour alimenter les turbines d’une centrale hydroélectrique implantée au bas de la vallée. Centrale qui alimente toute la région de Kullu.
Ce chantier a été le début de la chute de cette petite république qui vivait en autarcie avec ses rites et ses croyances, loin de l’agitations du monde. Il y a 6 ans, les anciens ont décidé d’interdire définitivement l’accès de leur patrie à tous ceux qui ne sont pas nés dans le village. Trop l’incivilités et de profanations. Depuis de nombreux anciens ont dû disparaître les uns après les autres. Je n’ai plus de nouvelles. Le village existe toujours, mais qu’en est-il de ses traditions que les historiens disent inspirées de l’Athènes antique ?
(India) - This village was once lost in the mountains of Himachal-Pradesh. It took at least three days of grueling walking to get there. Today, it is accessible to all-terrain vehicles.
For more than 20 years, the federal government has undertaken the construction of seven successive dams on the "Malana River" to power the turbines of a hydroelectric power plant located at the bottom of the valley. A power plant that supplies the entire Kullu region.
This construction site was the beginning of the fall of this small republic that lived in self-sufficiency with its rites and beliefs, far from the hustle and bustle of the world. Six years ago, the elders decided to permanently ban access to their homeland to anyone who was not born in the village. Too much incivility and desecration. Since then, many elders have had to disappear one after the other. I have no more news. The village still exists, but what about its traditions that historians say are inspired by ancient Athens ?

After spending a few weeks in Delhi, it's nice to be able to breathe some fresh air again! This time of year the air pollution in Delhi is horrendous. This is the Morning view from my Hostel in Kasol, the Great Himalayan Range in the state of Himachal Pradesh.

Tosh village is in Himachal Pradesh state of India. It is located at about 2,400 metres (7,900 ft) in elevation on a hill near Kasol in the Parvati Valley, surrounded by mountains.

The peaks surrounding the glacier include Papasura, White Sail, Angduri, Pinnacle, and Devachan. The village is reached by taking a bus from Bhuntar to Kasol, and a one and 1/4 hour car ride to the area along Manikaran and Barsheni Roads and then a one hour hike.

Views of the Great Himalayan Range from Kasol, in the state of Himachal Pradesh. Edited in Lightroom.
this photo was taken by a friend when we were shooting near kasol.Mountain brooks are one of my favourite hunting grounds,for a good shot.However,one has been a witness to a decline in their once pristine beauty,which can be largely attributed to massive hydel projects springing up all over the region.The governments here are turning a blind eye to the muck being dumped in the brooks,as the big wigs in the govt are bribed to do so.Big money changes hands,so that the issue is brushed under the carpet.Thats a sign of the times.The once abundent Trout,has almost disappeared from these fresh waters.
