Nestled deep in the majestic Himalayas lies the remote Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Come winter, this region transforms into a breathtaking snow kingdom- serene yet unforgiving. The icy winds slash through the valleys, and a quiet stillness blankets every village. But locals believe this silence is not empty, it is protected.

According to ancient Kinnauri folklore, celestial fairies called Saunis descend from their heavenly abodes when winter tightens its grip. These divine beings watch over the land, the livestock, and the people until sunshine and warmth return. To honour these guardians, the villagers celebrate a mysterious, centuries-old festival known as Raulane.
