Men of Dharmasala, TIPA
Hidden from the outside world for centuries, between the Himalayas to the south and the forbidding Taklemakhan Desert to the North, the country of Tibet and Tibet’s culture and religion remained largely unchanged since the Middle Ages. But starting in 1949 when China’s Red Army invaded Tibet, most of the country’s 6,000 monasteries were destroyed with dynamite and aerial bombardment. Thanks to the importance His Holiness the Dalai Lama placed on the preservation of unique Tibetan traditions, the first institution he established after his escape to India in 1959 was the Tibetan Institute of Performing Arts. Yarlung recorded Men of Dharamsala in TIPA’s auditorium in McLeod Ganj perched above the hillstation of Dharamsala.
