IN THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION - II

Kazakh Eagle Hunter

Botei Rys is a Kazakh Eagle Hunter from Altantsögts district of Bayan-Ölgii Province in western Mongolia.

The Kazakhs are the descendants of Turkic, Mongolic and Indo-Iranian indigenous groups and Huns who populated the territory between Siberia and the Black Sea. They are a semi-nomadic people and have roamed the mountains and valleys of western Mongolia with their herds since the 19th century.

The ancient art of eagle hunting is one of many traditions and skills that the Kazakhs and the Kyrgyz in contemporary Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan have held onto for the last decades. They rely on their clan and herds, believing in pre-Islamic cults of the sky, ancestors, fire and the supernatural forces of good and evil spirits.
Assignment ‘In the verge of Extinction’ is one of the greatest blessings life has offered me. I’m really grateful to my client for the assignment for which I’ll have to travel all over the world shooting those people and tribes who are disappearing from planet earth in next two years. This is an effort to preserve and tribute their culture and heritage who are really close to nature.

It was really amazing spending real good time with some Kazakh Eagle Hunters' families at very remote villages in Mongolia.
Thank you to all my friends and well wishers for their continuous support and blessings. © Apratim Saha all right reserved.

"NO MAN CAN BE HURT AS LONG AS HIS SOUL IS SAFE"

Assignment "In the verge of Extinction" is one of the greatest blessings life has offered me. I’m really grateful to my client for the assignment for which I’ll have to travel all over the world shooting those people and tribes who are disappearing from planet earth. This is an effort to preserve and tribute their culture and heritage who are really close to nature.
It was amazing spending real good time with the Daasanach chief at a very remote village in Ethiopia. The Daasanach are semi nomad tribe inhabiting a territory stretching over parts of Ethiopia, Kenya and South Sudan. Their birthplace is Lower Omo Valley where the last indigenous people of East Africa live in frequent battle for resources, vital for their survival.

Bisket Jatra is an annual festival in Bhaktapur and Thimi in Nepal. This festival is celebrated at the start of the new year on the Bikram Sambat calendar. The festival welcomes one and all in and around Bhaktapur and beyond its boundaries.

The famous festival, which is observed for eight nights and nine days, as per historical records it has been marked since the Lichchhivi era (c. 450-c. 750). The Jatra started worshiping Bhairabi temple nearby Paanchtale temple in Naumadi. Legend has it that this celebration is the "festival after the death of the
serpent." Prominently observed at the advent of spring, it is a festival of human emotions that are symbolically depicted through the multiple aspects of the festival. The central point of folklore, as it goes, is about the slaughtering of a pair of snakes by a handsome young man bestowed with tantric powers. It is said that the two serpents came out of the nostrils of a beautiful princess when she sneezed at midnight. In the twinkling of an eye, they transformed into huge serpents. When they were about to strike the young man, he killed them, using his tantric powers.

Many areas of Bhaktapur city celebrate this festival as per their own ritual. The most eventful places during the festival are, Bhaktapur Durbar Square and Thimi Balkumari. An immense chariot carrying a statue of God Bhairava is pulled by hundreds of people to the Khalna Tole. The most spectacular event on Bhaktapur Durbar square is a huge tug-of-war between the eastern and western part of town. Each team tries to pull to their side but later the chariot heads toward Khalna Tole.
