Summary
Ladakh and Bhutan share a strong religious and spiritual connection. Although very unlike in their climate and topography, the common link is Naroba, the internal faith binding them. It was during Shabdrung's time that a friendship started to flourish between Bhutan and Ladakh, which strengthened during Ladakhan king Neema Namgyal's time. Through these interactions, many Bhutanese scholars helped Ladakh rediscover many aspects of Buddhism. Along with it a cultural exchange also took place where art and literature were exchanged between the two lands. Many monasteries and temples were built in Ladakh with the help of the Bhutanese. The film tells the story of the religious relationship that share the same wisdom but yet are distinct in their traits.
