In Kullu, cultural traditions continue to thrive through festivals, craftsmanship and performance.

Kullu Dussehra brings together hundreds of local deities from across the valley in a celebration that reflects long-standing systems of faith, participation and community exchange.

The Himachali Topi remains an important marker of regional identity, distinguished by colours, patterns and styles that vary across Himachal Pradesh.

The Haran dance combines music, theatre, storytelling and satire in a community-led performance tradition that continues to be practised during the winter months.

As rider-researchers journey through Kullu, they meet the practitioners, artisans and community members who continue to sustain these living traditions.
