Nepal: An offering to Ganesha

November 14, 2013 by Jenna Filia Canty

I found this special woman in Bhaktapur, Nepal at a Hindu temple. In the first photo, she is located in the bottom right, dressed in a red salwar and raising her hand to add a dab of paste to her forehead. The same paste is rubbed onto the god as a sign of devotion and respect. I met her after taking the photo and followed her along to prepare and give an offering to Ganesh. She rang the bell to […]

Nepal Packing, Part I

May 21, 2013 by Jenna Filia Canty

Jeanne bought us our first item to pack for Nepal…. and I believe it is the most important purchase of all: our journals!  Considering the fact that my journal from Baron Baptiste teacher training in Mexico was stolen and my notebook from India was nearly damaged – I am looking forward to another attempt at documenting my journey. Jeanne found the perfect journal and bought one for me as well. Thank you, Jeanne!  I will be supplying the pens for […]
