Recently, the internet went crazy over a mystical celebration here called the Raulane Festival, claiming it to be a festival where fairies are worshipped. But what is the actual reality? In this detailed documentary by us, we travel deep into the Kinnaur Valley to uncover the 5000-year-old secrets of the Raulane Festival (also linked to the Suskar Parv / Phaguli). We speak directly to the locals to understand the true meaning of the Sauni (Holy Spirits/Guardian Fairies), why the Raula and Raulane completely cover their faces to protect the village from evil, and how the community preserves a culture that is older than written history.
Prepare to be amazed as we show you the breathtaking traditional Kinnauri costumes, including original antique gold and silver jewelry worth over 40 to 50 Lakh Rupees, the sacred temple dances at the Nagin Narayan and Vishnu temples, and the mysterious Zannpundulu masked performers who distract the spirits.
