Hello Friends, welcome to a new blog this is going to be a book review of Ladakh -The Culture and People of “Little Tibet

Over the course of five years, photographer David Vaala embedded himself in Ladakh, a mountainous corner of Northwestern India, to capture Little Tibet: its landscapes, culture, and people. More than 150 full-color, large-format images focus on the rare cham dances, and masked dance dramas, which are a unique aspect of Tibetan Buddhism. Using a make-shift studio, Vaala documented these brief annual ceremonies that narrate the story of Buddhism spreading into Tibetan culture. The images immortalize the cham ceremonies with detailed portraits of individual cham characters from each of the four traditions of Tibetan Buddhism as practiced in Ladakh. Further celebrating this isolated region are spectacular landscapes that feature Ladakh terrain, nestled between two great mountain ranges, the Himalayas and the Karakoram. Portraits reveal its nomadic people in intimate detail. This book is ideal for those interested in photography, anthropology, world travel, and Tibetan Buddhism and culture.

This great book is brimming with clear, brilliant, fabulous photos. Ladakh I a living Tibetan culture safeguarded on the grounds that it is in India. I energetically prescribe it to see what individuals resemble. tragically, there are not many pictures of sanctuaries or towns.

David Vaala obviously tried sincerely and long to concentrate on this nation so separated from it's general surroundings.

The photos are of especially top-notch, similar to the development of the actual book. Photos of the members of occasional strict services in their old formal attire will be a priceless asset for people in the future.

An exquisite investigation of the scene and individuals of this interesting and, distant country before the unavoidable changes that will be quickly fashioned by the cutting-edge world around it.

I have voyaged broadly through the Himalayan locale over numerous years and was looking for a book of pictures of this little nation settled between India and Tibet. This book wonderfully surpassed my assumptions with its stunning symbolism and show of individuals and the scene. Strongly suggested for those who interested in curious about the culture and lifestyle of Ladakh and Tibetan Culture 

The Picture taker/Creator has worked effectively in recording the outfits and convictions as well as catching the magnificence of individuals and land. 

His photography is superb...he probably went through numerous hours building associations with individuals and concentrating on the land.

This book most certainly procures the best position on the footstool so each and every individual who visits will have a chance to see the photographs!

this book amazingly surpassed my assumptions with its stunning symbolism and show of individuals and the landscape. Enthusiastically suggested.
