Leisure & Pleasure

An elderly man dressed traditionaly with Kulvi cap in Jana Village smoking hookah.

Hookah are single or multi-stemmed (often glass-based) water pipe for smoking. The concept of hookah originated in India, once the province of the wealthy, it was tremendously popular especially during Mughal rule. The hookah has since become less popular, however it is once again garnering the attention of the masses, and cafés and restaurants that offer it as a consumable are popular. Hookahs is used in many villages as per traditional customs. Smoking molasses in a hookah is now becoming popular amongst the youth in India. It is a growing trend amongst youngsters and adolescents. There are several chain clubs, bars and coffee shops in India offering a variety of hookahs. The new trends emerging are that of non-tobacco hookahs with herbal flavors.

Me trying the tobacco in the Hookah, the villagers were looking at me with equal and being caught by my friend.

Yesterday was a great day, I visited one of the most beautiful and largest village in Kullu valley - Jana Village.

Surrounded by serene green mountains, it’s located nearly 35 Km from Kullu. Will post more pictures and information about the splendid journey I had.
