‘Muthuvan Kalyanam’ is a nine-minute documentary that tracks a wedding in the Muthuvan tribe in the heart of the Western Ghats. The wedding ritual: “a prospective bride enters the forest with her friends, to be pursued by the groom, who, when he finds her, will marry her in a union blessed by Nature.” We recommend reading this Gaon Connection interview with the filmmaker before watching the film—so you can better grasp his vision and achievement.
