This picture was clicked back in 2002 when I was around 13 years old using a Canon reel based camera. This is a scan of the developed picture. The scene is from a festival taking place in the village of Malana. The village is regarded as the oldest living civilization in the world, with their own constitution and parliament. The people also claim to be descendants of Alexander (highly doubtful as Alexander never conquered India). The place at this time was disconnected by road and one had to walk for couple of hours uphill in some very narrow and risky pathways. It was infamous throughout the world for its production of drugs, though that seems to have changed with road connectivity and increased presence of police.
