Three Men and an Artist's Ethos: The Vanishing Professions of Kashmir

What does a master alchemist dealing with rose water, a man who has extracted mustard oil in a handmade, ox-powered mill for six decades and a Padma Shri-winning santoor maker have in common? They are all practitioners of trades that are slowly disappearing from the public eye.
The shop of Ghulam Mohammad Kozgar is a unique olfactory point in time in history.
Ghulam Mohammad Wani feels that the ox-drawn mill he works at will be the last of its kind, after he leaves work.
Ghulam Mohammad Zaz says the honour for crafting these instruments belong to his ancestors who have taught him the skills.
