There may be more than two million prostitutes among South Asia’s billion people-males, females and the `third gender’, angels unwillingly tumbled into hell. The majority come from lowcaste and tribal communities, and the reminder are cast out, fleeing abuse, supporting their families or trafficked-for prostitution in South Asia is not a voluntary occupation.

In Fallen Angels, eight photographers and fourteen writers explore the complex, hidden world of prostitution in South Asia. Through the personal voices of those who sell their bodies, this book confronts the powerful issues of trafficking, child prostitution, HIV/AIDS and sex workers’ rights, and through profiles of the leading grassroots organisations working with the sex industry, it presents the struggles to address those issues.

Myth, magic and mountains merge in the mighty Himalaya. For nearly 2,500 kilometres, a wondrous terrain unfolds: a shaman dances in the frenzy of possession while a five-year-old Buddhist reincarnate plays with his sword; skulls lurk beneath a frozen lake while strange footprints come to sight amid the snows; a young virgin becomes a goddess even as another unites with her in death; a monastery hangs precariously to edges of sheer rock, but a flower used for worship and healing peeps out boldly. And, always, there are the gods, the demons and at least one respectable ghost for company. Himalayan Mysteries journeys from the foothills of the Indian Himalaya to the grand mountains of Nepal, and on to secluded valleys and remote recesses in Bhutan and Tibet, exploring the silent heart of mystery. Packed with rewarding photographs and adventurous tales of tragedy and triumph, of fable and fantasy, faith and folklore, Himalayan Mysteries makes that heart beat.
