Description

In this episode, we reveal a beauty ritual practised in Rajasthan, India, in the early 19th century. Troubled by the English romanticism that offered her a glimpse of Western freedom, young princess Alka found appeasement in a meticulous series of vigorous head and body massages, and in the famous Indian ablutions ceremonial. In the form of a tale, Buly tells you all about this ritual, which is as much a spiritual process as anything else.
