Manage episode 360515830 series 2575536
On 16 November 2010, UNESCO declared this among the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This is usually seen in the Catalonian region of Spain, the Balearic islands and Valencia. This also has a sibling 7000 kms away on the coast of India. This week, we travel from Catalonia in Spain to the town of Pandharpur in Maharashtra to find the similarities between the two art forms. We uncover the Warkari movement, its impact on Hinduism and the story behind the much loved 'Dahi' of Dahi Handi. Tune in, and discover the true spirit of Dahi Handi and the lessons its holds for us.
