Roopkund becomes famous when large number of Human bones was reported. After
that explorers and scientists have tried to explain the mystery but it
helped in deepening the mystery rather solving it. Two theories have emerged
and one is that these bones are of Gen.Zorawar Singh of Kashmir and his men
who were coming back after raiding China-Tibet in 17th Century. Second
opinion, which is also believed by locals, is that large numbers of people
visiting Homkund were trapped in avalanches and snowstorms and got killed.
Not even a single man survived to tell the true story. It is situated in CWM
of Trishul and this is again a positive factor for unpredictable change in
weather in Himalayas.

Trekking in Valley of Flowers & Hemkund Sahib
Nestled high in the west Himalaya, India’s valley of flowers National Park
is renowned for its meadows of endemic alpine flowers and outstanding
natural beauty. This richly diverse area is also home to rare and endangered
animals, including the Asiatic Black bear, snow leopard, brown bear and blue
sheep. The gentle landscape of the valley of flower national park
complements the rugged mountain wilderness Nanda Devi National park,
inscribed on the world heritage list in 1988. Together they encompass a
unique transition zone between the mountain ranges of Zanskar and great
Himalaya, praised by mountaineers and botanist for over a century and in
Hindu Mythology for much longer.

Multitudes - A Group Show
Exhibition |
|
|
|
on from 19 - 27.06.2009
9.00 a.m. to 6.30 p.m.
Goethe-Institut/Max Mueller Bhavan
In collaboration with Zen Studio Gallery and Artflute.com
All are welcome!
“a fragment still signals to a lost or promised totality…” - Jacques Derrida
Organised in conjunction with Interventions, a series of
discussions/lectures, this exhibition is an effort to bring together
multiple concerns in the field of cultural production onto a single
platform. If anything is traceable as common in this exhibition, it would be
the social commitment of the participating artists and its organisers. It is
not an attempt to provide a singular answer to all pertinent questions with
regard to cultural practice in general, but rather an initiative to think
about newer frameworks which will enable us to deal with these questions
from multiple subject positions. As the title indicates, this show foresees
a possibility of heterogeneous being and becoming with its distinctness and
difference and thereby imagines difference and the right to differ as the
quality of the world.
The participants and their varying subjective locations and concerns
themselves make this show a defender of the right to differ. The political
concerns of the participating artists range from engaging with broader
questions of gender, sexuality, caste, religion, community and class to the
specific questions of violence in the public sphere and everyday life, and
systemic marginalizations at large. This is not to state that these are the
only concerns of the participating artists or that one can bracket each
artist into a singular category. On the contrary, many works in this
exhibition engage with multiple issues and are also concerned with the
linguistic as well as formal aspects of visual idioms. Like in multitudes,
these works generate, re-generate and de-generate meanings through active
collaborations, contestations and resistances.
The current exhibition was originally organised by the Zen Studio Gallery,
Eramalloor at the Lalit Kala Akademi in Kochi, Kerala in March 2009.
Participating artists: Alok Bal, Ashutosh Bharadwaj, Benoy P.J, Chinnan
