Description

High in the folds of the Himalayas, lives a mystique and beautiful little mountain kingdom where prayer flags flow effortlessly into blue mountain air, valleys hold centuries of belief, and stories travel faster by word of mouth rather than ink. In this episode of Ohh Folk, one such story begins to stir. From Bhutan’s rich folktale tradition emerges the legend of the Demoness of Teligang, a tale shaped by fear, faith, and the fragile line between protection and destruction. This is a story that asks you to listen slowly and to remember that even the most beautiful places carry shadows. Happy Listening!! 🙂
