Sani Festival in Zanskar | India


Monastery Festival in Sani
Postcard
Zanskar is a valley in the Himalayas in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, in the most northern part of India. The valley has a small population of about 13,500 people,  living mainly in scattered small villages.

The Sani festival is a two-day riot of colour, dance and music, the perfect way to build a social camaraderie among the far-flung villages of the Zanskar valley.

The postcard shows Cham, the war dance of this festival. In this dance, the brave warriors kill the enemy with the arrows that are hidden in their sleeves.

thank you Sayam!
