Event Description

About  Earthlore Documentaries: Echoes of the Western Ghats:

Join us for a special screening celebrating the Earthlore documentation initiative by The Archival and Research Project (ARPO), dedicated to preserving and amplifying India's indigenous cultural heritage.

This program showcases two compelling documentaries that offer rare and vital glimpses into the lives of communities deeply connected to the forests of the Western Ghats:

Kaadina Haadu (Song of the Forest)

An intimate look at the Jenu Kuruba community near Nagarhole, focusing on how their traditional songs are evolving in the face of contemporary socio-political change.

MANNAN Tribe

The Last Forest Kingdom of Kerala | The Origin: An exploration into the fascinating history and culture of the Mannan tribe, who uniquely maintain a traditional system of a king and ministers in the forests of Kerala.
