Rain’s effect on our culture - including a frog wedding in India.

Rain’s effect on our culture - including a frog wedding in India. Buaidh an uisge air ar cultar – a’ gabhail a-steach banais eadar dà losgann sna h-Innseachan.

Tha Anne Lundon a’ lìbhrigeadh an t-sreath ùr, fiosrachail seo a’ rannsachadh an t-saidheans agus na sgeulachdan air cùlaibh an nì a tha a’ beathachadh dhaoine – ’s e sin an t-uisge. 

Anns a’ phrògram seo, bidh sinn a’ faighinn a-mach mu mar a tha uisge a’ toirt buaidh air cultaran air feadh an t-saoghail agus air luchd-ealain, a’ leigeil le coimhearsnachdan fàs. 

Bidh Anne a’ tadhal air aon de na taighean-staile as ùire ann an Alba airson ionnsachadh mun cheangal a th’ eadar uisge agus an deoch nàiseanta againn. 
Agus tha i a’ cumail oirre timcheall na h-Emirates Arabach Aonaichte, dùthaich san fhàsach, a tha ag ùrnaigh airson uisge gu cunbhalach agus gu poblach air an telebhisean. 

Ach ’s ann ann an Assam sna h-Innseachan a tha sinn a’ lorg an traidisean as dathtiche ceangailte ri uisge. Tha coimhearsnachd a’ tighinn ri chèile gus an t-uisge a thàladh le bhith a’ cumail banais chosgail eadar dà losgann. 

Anne Lundon presents this revealing series exploring the science and stories behind the life-giving force that is rain. In this episode, we discover how rain affects cultures around the world, influencing artists and allowing societies to flourish.

Anne visits one of Scotland’s newest island distilleries to find out the connection between rainwater and our national drink. And she continues her journey around the United Arab Emirates, a desert country which holds regular televised public prayer for rain.

But it’s in Assam, India, where we find the most eye-catching rain tradition. A community comes together to summon the rains by holding a lavish wedding - for two frogs.
