Old sherpa wedding from Phortse

I am grateful to Prof Christoph von Furer-Haimendorf, Austrian anthropologist, who wrote first book about Sherpas, cultural and history. He also captured many photos and made beautiful cine footage. This footage is great asset for us Sherpas, I myself was there, my parents, uncles, aunts and many relatives. This footage is Sherpa wedding groom from Phortse late Ang Nuru and bride from Khumjung Mrs. Nima Yangji, must be around 1969.
Many thanks to Prof Macfarlane-Abaya
