The Lambanis’ story is one of beauty, struggle, and resilience. Through this project, I hope to capture their vibrant culture and shed light on the challenges they face in today’s rapidly modernising world. Their way of life offers profound lessons about the importance of community, tradition, and harmony with nature—lessons that resonate far beyond the boundaries of their village.

By stepping into their world, even briefly, I came away not just as a visitor but as someone deeply inspired by their strength and spirit. It is a story that deserves to be told and celebrated.

Detailed article will publish soon.

My visit to the Lambani village was more than just a journey—it was an education. It taught me that travel is not just about exploring places but understanding the people who inhabit them. The Lambanis welcomed me into their lives, shared their stories, and left me with invaluable lessons about resilience, community, and the importance of preserving culture.

This experience also highlighted the intersectionality of their identity as an indigenous group and their religious practices, predominantly rooted in Hinduism. Their faith and culture are intricately woven together, shaping their unique way of life.
