🌸 Raulane Festival in Kalpa, Kinnaur: a timeless ritual where tradition meets spirit. For centuries, villagers have honored the Sauni fairies, guardians of the Himalayas, through dance, prayer, and performance. Two masked men, Raula and Raulane, adorned in rare jewellery, become living bridges between the earthly and the divine. Their steps mark the farewell of winter and the arrival of spring, as the valley breathes in new light and ancient culture continues to thrive. This is not just a festival — it’s a living story of Indian culture, resilience, and gratitude in the heart of Himachal. #kalpa #raulane
