Meghalaya

In northern India, in the rainforest of Meghalaya, there is a place where the bridges are alive. ALMA de LUCE® tells us this wonderful symbiosis between nature and human through the MEGHALAYA piece, a masterpiece of artisan’s know-how with a breathtaking design.

The bridges are unique in the world, made by hand from the aerial roots of a type of rubber tree (elastic ficus), which continue to grow and strengthen over time. They are structures of such elegance and beauty that none human construct achieves: moss-lined, the roots forming beautiful tracery laces on the lateral "handrails" and barely moving. Suspended above the rivers, we see them only when we are actually reaching the water, because they are planted in silence and in shade.
