Скачать или смотреть The Jungle Warrior Who Defied an Empire: Sikhna Jwhwlao & The Ultapani Mystery

Welcome to the Sikhna Jwhwlao National Park (notified 2025). Located in the unique ecological transition zone of the Himalayan foothills in Assam, this region is a biodiversity hotspot, home to the endangered Golden Langur and massive congregations of butterflies.
But this forest is more than just a biological reserve. It is a "Than"—a sacred grove protected for centuries by the indigenous Bodo community through the Bathou religion. The forest was once the fortress capital of the warrior Sikhna Jwhwlao, whose spirit is believed to still guard the dense canopy of Ultapani.

In this video, we explore how ancient rituals like the Kherai dance act as traditional conservation mechanisms, how the mysterious "reverse flowing" streams shape the landscape, and why naming this park after an indigenous hero is a powerful act of decolonizing conservation.

Discover the deep connection between faith, history, and ecology in Northeast India.
