The name Drokpa means Aryan or white people in Ladakh. It is estimated that there are now 3,000 Drokpa people, believed to be descendants of soldiers in the Greek army of Alexander the Great. They were lost in the process of Alexander the Great's conquest of Asia in the 300s BC.

The Drokpa tribe is thought to have originated from the West.

The lives of the Drokpa people have recently been detailed by photographer Aman Chotani in detail, through authentic photos.

These are the last members of the ancient Drokpa tribe. Chotani plans to use these photos as material for his upcoming book. The book focuses on ancient Indian mysteries, inherent and in danger of disappearing forever.

According to the Indian photographer, the Drokpa people do not follow the morality of modern society. Since ancient times, the Drokpa people have a tradition of kissing between the crowd and changing a wife without affecting the relationship between people.

Many groups of men and women lined up and kissed each other naturally and hotly, regardless of their marital status and the other's.

There are only about 3,000 people of the Drokpa tribe.

Today, this custom has been banned because it is thought to be uncivilized. The Drokpa only expressed the culture of kissing and changing their wives within the community, when there were no outsiders visiting.

Chotani says most of the Drokpa people live 'more freely and freely' than other ancient tribes. Most of them work in agriculture. 'They grow crops, sweet fruits for survival and are very proud of that'.

Dropka people maintain unique cultures unlike any other tribe.

Drokpa men and women have a tall appearance, good-looking faces, big eyes, thick lips, straight nose and dark eyebrows. To maintain pure blood, tribal members often do not marry outsiders.

Music, dance, jewelry, flowers and barley wine are typical hobbies of the Drokpa people. The unique culture of the tribe is shown through exquisite costumes and decorations in festivals.

During the Bonano festival that takes place in late summer, dancing tribal men and women jubilantly celebrate three consecutive days to celebrate the most important event of the year.
