The Kameng area in Arunachal\u003cbr\u003e Pradesh, familiar to the author’s family for over six decades, and the Monpa people provided the perfect\u003cbr\u003e subjects to indulge his interest in photography.\u003cbr\u003e Over time, the idea of a book firmed up, and the photographs coalesced into what was envisioned as a\u003cbr\u003e sensitive, not necessarily comprehensive, look at the Monpa way of life and their land, Monyul. The intent was\u003cbr\u003e not to be ethnographic or academic, but to portray the rapidly changing world of the Monpas.\u003cbr\u003e A meditative travelogue in images that transforms into a thoughtful exploration, the book captures the\u003cbr\u003e lives of the people and the region. The author’s personal stories, interspersed throughout the book, tell of the\u003cbr\u003e Monpas’ hospitality and warmth, providing insight into the everyday lives of a spiritual community.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Roli Publication","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47634549047594,"sku":"ROLI-9788194425793","price":81.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0693\/1218\/4618\/files\/MonpasBookCoverFinal22102021.jpg?v=1753944709","url":"https:\/\/crazyshelf.com\/products\/monpas-buddhists-of-the-high-himalayas","provider":"Crazyshelf.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
