In this still from the upcoming feature, Yaad Ali Tehri, we have Uma and Madan Duklan, contemplating their lost years against the backdrop of old Tehri, now submerged by a dam reservoir. Madan Duklan has appeared in many recent films and television specials and continues to be a cultural force in Dehradun, where he works with the Akhil Garhwal Sabha and publishes Chitthi-Patri, a long-running Garhwali-language publication, samples of which are archived here.

Dr. D.R. Purohit is Director of the newly constituted Centre for Folk Performing Arts and Culture at the H.N.B. Garhwal University and perhaps the foremost folklorist scholar in Uttarakhand. Purohit has written several of his own plays, as well as translated local variants of the Mahabharata. He has also recently produced Burdheva, a mask drama on the travails of the common man, and written about the Garhwali Ram Lila tradition.
