The song “Happy” [2], written, produced, and performed by American singer and producer Pharrell Williams, became a viral phenomenon earlier this year as countless tribute videos filmed around the world were uploaded online.

Better late than never, Sushmita Pakhrin [3] of Lens Craft Production has made a version for Sikkim [4], a landlocked northeast Indian state located in the Himalayan mountains.

The video [1] was uploaded to YouTube on August 28, 2014, and received accolades for the high quality production.

Ms. Pakhrin commented [5] in an interview with online news site Sikkim Now:

We have tried to showcase the scenic beauty of Sikkim along with well-known and upcoming artists of the state.
