Name: Burial at Pashupati Nath

Date: Fall 2012

Country: Nepal

From the ridge above Pashupati Nath, the scene unfolded like an ancient city alive with detail—temples, rooftops, and mountains stretching into the horizon. It was overwhelming to take in, each layer a testament to history and devotion.

And then my eyes fell to the river. A cremation was underway. In that moment, the scene shifted from grandeur to intimacy, from overwhelming detail to the stark simplicity of life and death.

The atmosphere was thick with sorrow, the weight of loss pressing on those gathered. Yet, at the same time, there was a palpable sense of release—a lightness as the spirit seemed to rise beyond its earthly shell. It felt timeless, as if I was watching not just a single moment, but a reel of history, ritual, and eternity playing all at once.
