Welcome to a 9-minute movie about Bodh Gaya and the Pragya Vihar School and the 5- minute “Bollywood Comes to Bihar.”Plus lots of pictures from school.

(An earlier version of this movie was made in 2004. In 2010 Christopher
Titmuss updated the script, and new stills were added to reflect recent changes in the school. )

Bollywood Comes to Bihar

In 2010 the students of the Pragya Vihar School in Bodh Gaya choreographed and presented a spectacular Bollywood-style dance performance. There is also a larger version.

Also, don't miss the 39 still pictures from the 2010 cultural presentation.

 

There is also a photo gallery of the pictures I took at the school in 2007. The pictures are available at small and big resolutions. You are welcome to use any of these pictures in any way that you like, just so that any profits from the sale or use of these pictures go to the Pragya Vihar School.

I also took pictures of beggars when I was in Bodh Gaya that can also be used to help the poor of Bodh Gaya. On the Tom Riddle Youtube page, there are movies showing life in the village, ceremonies around the Mahabodhi Stupa park, and a slightly shorter version of the movie about Bodh Gaya and the Pragya Vihar School.

If you would like to donate, there are many ways that you can do so.
