Beat of India would like to thank all those who contributed for helping Yanchen Dolma to tide over difficult times at the death of her husband Tandup Chhering. We recently received a pair of knitted socks, a photo of Yanchen with her son and a letter to thank all those who contributed.
Yanchen Dolma has only one son who got electrocuted, because of this he lost the fingers of his right hand. Theirs is a family that makes ends meet by playing music for the village, so life is certainly not going to be easy for them..

Kibber is one of the highest inhabited villages of Asia, standing at a height of more than 14,500 ft. In the village one sees a lot of colourful flags as most people who live here follow the Buddhist religion.
Like most professional musicians of the villages of the region, this husband and wife team used to performs at all the village functions and marriages. The villagers support them by giving them a piece of land to cultivate.
