Kalpa, a beautiful village in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, is known not only for its breathtaking views of the sacred Kinner Kailash range but also for an ancient cultural festival called Raulane. . Raulane is an ancient traditional festival believed to be around 5,000 years old, celebrated mainly in Kalpa and nearby villages of Kinnaur.  The festival honours “Saunis” — mystical mountain spirits or fairies that locals believe protect their villages during the harsh winter months.  A special ritual takes place where two men from the village are chosen to represent a symbolic couple: • Raula (groom) • Raulane (bride) Both wear heavy traditional Kinnauri woollen clothes, jewellery, and masks. They perform slow ritual dances and visit temples such as the Nagin Narayan temple, symbolically acting as a bridge between humans and the spiritual world. .
