A village in northeastern India grew in renown after a 2004 article by the magazine Discover India said “this must be the cleanest village in India.” The article said that broomsticks and bamboo shrubs lined the streets of Mawlynnong and quoted a resident who said that 14 years ago, the town was plastic-free. The village’s tradition of gardening, passed down through generations, also contributed. Today, Mawlynnong grapples with the blessing and the curse of tourism while trying to maintain the essence of the village, protecting the core reason people want to visit. Villagers, who are predominantly Christians, also pitch in for the maintenance of the village and its 3 churches. When the road connecting the village to the outside world was built in 2000 and tourism became a possibility, some of the people of Mawlynnong were hesitant to open up the village to outsiders. Inevitably the village changed, and some bemoaned the loss of old traditions. @malinfezehai took this photo of Easter service at the Mawlynnong Presbyterian Church for our Surfacing series, which covers the world’s rich and varied communities.
