I am somehow fortunate to witness and record this rare scene in my friend’s house in Phayeng, Manipur, North East India. 

This Is Chakri Takpa, grinding of rice after harvest. We have lost this sound and images even from our memories. This is not even practice in the villages today. 
This scene is nostalgic and brings back a vague memory of my childhood days. I love the energetic constant sound and the physicality of the movement.
