Shiviarati: Around the Temple.

Some images from Shivarati at the Pashupatinath temple.

Out on a Field Visit with Saroj on the day before the festival. The place was tranquil, quite a contrast to the heady bustle in the day to come.

Sadus (Holy Men) taking lunch.

The exit ramp to the main road where markets stalls took up every available space. Here there were afew hoop games, where a successful throw could win you anything from a juice box to a packet of smokes.

Delicious frozen pineapple sellers roamed the temple grounds.
