Being a goldsmith of Anthropological experimentation which the human kind has developed in its spontaneous living with traditions and future aspirations, the land has witnessed several anthropological engagement in terms of understanding its folk life, stories, tales and narratives from everyday life. However, they have all germinated in a soil outside the Himalayan country. It is argued here that the situation is ripe in nation to take a leap into future of anthropological imagination.
