What could be common between the towns in the Isfahan province of Iran, and the city of Srinagar in Kashmir? And how could they show us two ends of the same spectrum? This week, starting a new series, The Kashmir Diaries, we travel to Srinagar and meet the last craftsman of a dying art - Rosewater making. But there is more to rosewater than being a beauty product and a food additive. There is a much richer legacy which is also dying with it. Tune in, and discover the story of the man behind it all, and ponder over an increasingly relevant question - How do we preserve our intangible cultural heritage?
