"Nepal Sadhu"
Printer: Epson Stylus Pro 4000
Medium: Epson Textured Fine Art Paper
Location: Kathmandu
Camera: Canon 20D
Software:Adobe Photoshop
General Info:
This photograph was taken at Pashupatinath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal. Pashupatinath is Nepal's holiest
Hindu Pilgrimage site. Dedicated to Lord Shiva (one of the Hindu trinity), the shrines and temples of Pashupatinath
straddle the now-polluted Bagmati river which, like the Ganges, is considered sacred by the faithful. To die and to be
cremated here is to be released from samsara (the cycle of rebirth in this world).
In Hinduism, sadhu is a common term for an ascetic or practitioner of yoga (yogi) who has given up pursuit of the first
three Hindu goals of life: kama (enjoyment), artha (practical objectives) and even dharma (duty). The sadhu is solely
dedicated to achieving moksha (liberation) through meditation and contemplation of God. Sadhus often wear
ochre-colored clothing, symbolizing renunciation.
Most of them follow Shiva. They don't cut or wash their hair. They are sometimes totally naked, but usually
wear a simple, loose cloth, decorated with strings of tulsi beads. They put ash on their heads and bodies, and marks on
their foreheads to indicate their religious affiliation. Three white, horizontal stripes means Shiva, while red and white
vertical stripes means Vishnu. They have no other possessions.

The image is comprised of five vertical-format photos taken with a Nikon D-90 camera and stitched

On September 7, 2009 the first major snowfall of the season dropped one-to-two feet of new snow

clouds provided this view of Shuksan from the 6000 foot level of Table Mountain.
