All about photography, travel in Nepal | Sangesh Shrestha

It’s been a while since I last posted pictures of Babaji with their chilim, smoking ganja during the Shivaratri festival at Pashupatinath Temple, Kathmandu.

This year, I went to capture some moments on the eve of Shivaratri. However, I noticed that the Babas were scattered due to ongoing renovation work at the Pashupatinath temple premises. In the past, we used to see many saints and Babas gathered around Ram Mandir, but this year, many were seen sitting along the pavements beside the roads.

I couldn’t find some of the regular Babas and saints this time—perhaps because of the Maha Kumbh at Prayagraj, where many have traveled.

Anyway, here are some pictures from this year’s Shivaratri.
