    The shaman at 6:43 is from my Village. His name is Mudang Pai (you can see we have the same surname), he is one of the few remaining shamans in our tribe. There are lots of families who don't have a shaman anymore, and while performing any traditional rituals they will play the voice recording of the prayers/chantings. (As they don't have a priest anymore)
    Fun fact: Mudang Pai has played a role in a Bollywood movie "Bhediya"
    1 more fun fact: While Aate(Brother) Pai is a priest for our traditional indigenous trbal religion, his wife is a Christian, but they live peacefully together. Both of them respecting each other's religion.

    You should definitely visit the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in India. They're a must-see destination in the country. If you want a beautiful and peaceful island experience in India, these islands are perfect. They have fantastic beaches like Radhanagar Beach, Elephant Beach, Kalapathar Beach, Laxmanpur Beach, Merk Bay Beach, Karmatang Beach, Ross and Smith Island Beach, and VIJAYNAGAR BEACH. Radhanagar Beach is especially famous and is considered one of the top ten beaches in Asia.
    There are many other must-visit islands in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, including Havelock Island, Neil Island, Ross and Smith Island, Jolly Buoy Island, North Bay Island, Baratang Island, Cinque Island, Red Skin Island, Ross Island, Inglis Island, Little Andaman Island, and Parrot Island. Traveling and finding a place to stay there is easy, and it's less crowded and less polluted compared to mainland India. It's generally safe for tourists, and you can take direct flights to get there. Just remember, if you're a foreigner, you'll need to buy a mobile SIM card in mainland India because you can't get one in the Andaman Islands. Overall, these islands are one of the most beautiful places in India, and you should definitely visit them when you're in the country.
