About the Piece

I encountered this remarkable sadhu in the ancient squares of Kathmandu, where centuries of devotion seem to hang in the air itself. His face was painted with sacred ash, eyes closed in a moment of peaceful meditation despite the bustling streets around him. The way he carried his shrine of gods and offerings told the story of a life dedicated entirely to spiritual pursuit. I waited until the light caught the brilliant oranges of his robes before capturing this intimate portrait of living faith.

A wandering ascetic who renounced worldly life carries his entire universe on his shoulders
