Himalayablue, Tibetan Red

Himalayablue, Tibetan Red

The photo-installation (33 minutes digirama) called Himalayablues - an Audiovisual Meditation on the Ten Transcendent Virtues of the Bodhisattva is featuring photos taken in the Himalayas of Northern India (mostly in Ladakh) a region called also Western or Little Tibet, words taken from the Sanskrit-Tibetan-English vocabulary of Alexander Csoma de Koros (1784-1845), and Ms. Spalzing (a woman from Ladakh) practicing/reciting the Ngondro.

(About the author: Zsolt Suto (Lodro Tharpa) is a 33 years old Hungarian photographer and visual artist from Romania who traveled in the footsteps of Alexander Csoma de Koros for 3 months in the Himalayas of Northern India in 2007: his goal was to get to those monasteries and villages where Alexander lived and worked 200 years ago.
