After a riotous time celebrating the success of the event, they go home to help with the harvest.Tseden is also helping a local family to arrange their daughter's wedding.

Guge : the last kingdom of Tibet (2006)

Details

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (53 minutes) , 005203

Keywords: Archaeology. ; Civilization. ; Historic sites. ; Tibet Autonomous Region (China) ; Asia ; Documentary films.

Abstract: In the barren landscape of remote western Tibet lies the ruins of a mysterious kingdom. A kingdom whose capital was 3600 meters high on the Tibetan plateau. A kingdom that offers archaeological treasures that compare with Italy's Pompeii. This kingdom once controlled the trade in gold, silk and spices between India and China. It was a kingdom of fabulous wealth and great religious significance. For two centuries it was the cradle of Himalayan Buddhism. Yet this spiritual and commercial hub, which prospered for seven centuries, vanished without a trace in 1630. Until now the mystery of what was the Tibetan kingdom of Guge has remained unresolved. The Italian archaeologist Guiseppe Tucci was the first to investigate the existence of the Guge kingdom in the early 1930's. Since then, the extraordinary altitude, hostile terrain and political upheaval have made sure that only a select few have travelled to the region to make serious study. Guge - Lost Kingdom of Tibet journeys to to the extreme corner of West Tibet with two of the world's experts, Tibetan historian Tsering Gyalpo and American archaeologist John Bellezza. Their aim is to unravel this mystery.

Language: English

Pages: 1 online resource (54 minutes) , 005329

Keywords: Gender identity ; Transgenderism ; Transsexualism ; India. ; India ; Documentary films.

Abstract: This fascinating film explores the world of the Hijras. With no present day equivalent anywhere else, the Indian Hijras are held in deep fascination both in India itself, and the world-over. They are sexually ambiguous and socially unintegrated. They are easily recognisable by their masculine features, exaggerated feminine behaviour, and by their trademark clap.
