Deben Bhattacharya’s film, Echoes from Tibet, was shot in 1979 in Ladakh, (often called ‘Little Tibet’), Darjeeling and Dharamsala. Here many Tibetan exiles and the Dalai Lama (who appears in the film) are based. The music on the accompanying CD was recorded in 1975 and 1979 in the refugee communities of Ladakh, Himalchal Pradesh, Sikkim and Darjeeling, and also in Sarnath, close to Varanasi where the Buddha gave his first sermon. Total playing time: 64:06 min., DVD: 27 min.
