The Swet Bhairab Statue, Kathmandu
A fierce avatar of Lord Shiva, the statue of Swet Bhairab is kept behind latticed windows through the year. These windows are opened completely only during the yearly Indra Jatra (known as Yenyā) – the largest festival of Kathmandu – when this picture was taken. -
Sadhus in Gosaikunda
Visiting Nepal's sacred Gosaikunda lake on the day of Janai Purnima all the way from India, these sadhus invited me to have a portrait of them as they sit there smoking chillum. The sadhu on the right always wore these dark black sunglasses. -
The Shaman in Gosaikunda
After losing all hopes to come across shamans in Gosaikunda, I encountered this female shaman by the sacred lake. I followed her as she climbed to Trishul Dhara with another woman and this picture was taken along the way. -
Shaman by the Gosaikunda Lake
As I noticed a shaman walking towards me when I was on my way to Trishul Dhara, I knew I had to somehow ask for permission for a picture. I lift my camera up, nod my head, and the shaman poses for a quick picture by the sacred Gosaikunda lake. 12 seconds, 4 clicks, and this is the result. -
Pilgrims of Gosaikunda
It was early morning and I was in Lauribina during the final stretch of Nepal’s Gosaikunda trek. A sheet of soft clouds had taken over and I was observing the beauty around me when I came across pilgrims riding on ponies to reach the sacred lake. -
Fog Approaching Gosaikunda
During my stay, the sacred Gosaikunda lake was barely visible due to fog and clouds taking over the lake. So I couldn’t believe when I saw the lake – partially visible and soon to be covered in fog again – I did not think much. A picture had to be made and this is the result. -
Into the Woods
It was August 2021 when I embarked on a trek to Nepal’s sacred Gosaikunda lake amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. Although I was coming out of the pandemic-induced isolation, there were moments throughout the trek when I felt isolated and melancholic. This picture of fog-covered forest is a representation of my state of mind during the trek.
