Cremation. i'd never been this close to a human body being burnt. it was so ordinary and surreal at the same time46 views

We went to Kathmandu's Pashupatinath temple at dusk, not expecting to really see much, everyone goes during the day. however, it turned out to be quite an amazing experience not possible to convey in these photos45 views

some religious performance was going on - devotional songs and music, sadhus hanging out, and some frenzied frenetic dancing43 views
