| In the name of GOD |
The first picture I'm posting in my blog starts from one of my favorite but a sad picture I took during "Indra Jatra" a very big festival in Kathmandu.
During various of my photographic expeditions this picture has been able to hit me whenever I look at it.
A simple picture of a begging woman is not a very surprising or a new thing in the streets of Kathmandu. But here what I captured was not only that. During this festival thousands of people come to visit the deities and offer a lot of prayers along with money and food to the gods and goddesses. But ironically any human action is driven by a certain kind of vested interest and this is where the ignorance of this begging woman takes place in a holy place.
I feel my thoughts were perfectly captured by the picture where a line of people are moving towards the God's statue amidst which the old lady begs but is ignored.
