Amazing synchronized drumming by devotees of Shiva, trained from a young age to master instruments used thousands of years ago. Filmed in Kochi (Cochin), a port on the Arabian Sea, South India.
Entrancing, hypnotic rhythms that stir the ancient soul! The elephants, some as old as 50 years, are trained for their religious duties which include personifying the sacred elephant deity Ganesha.
