Produced by the Film and Television Unit of TERI, the film talks about the rich environmental heritage of India's North East.  There are sacred natural sites that have been preserved for generations because of the faith of local communities. Today, science is recognizing these sites as rare hubs of biodiversity. The film captures the beautiful traditions of the Khasis of Meghalaya, the Meteis of Manipur and the Vaishnav monasteries of Assam, and brings to fore, the ancient and increasingly fragile link between human cultures and biodiversity.
