Monpas : Buddhists of the High Himalayas Hardback

Hardback

Description

It began with a new camera, a retirement present from the author’s wife.

The Kameng area in Arunachal Pradesh, familiar to the author’s family for over six decades, and the Monpa people provided the perfect subjects to indulge his interest in photography.

Over time, the idea of a book firmed up, and the photographs coalesced into what was envisioned as a sensitive, not necessarily comprehensive, look at the Monpa way of life and their land, Monyul.

The intent was not to be ethnographic or academic, but to portray the rapidly changing world of the Monpas.

A meditative travelogue in images that transforms into a thoughtful exploration, the book captures the lives of the people and the region.

The author’s personal stories, interspersed throughout the book, tell of the Monpas’ hospitality and warmth, providing insight into the everyday lives of a spiritual community.
