Indra Jatra Festival

Last weekend was the Indra Jatra festival. It's something to do with various gods and goddesses, but the exciting bit is that the Kumari (living goddess) leaves her palace for like the only time all year to get pulled around in the massive chariot. We went to watch the festivities and it was lots of fun, until some creepy old dude kept telling Eva how much she looked like his girlfriend. Eva's 18, btw, making it extra super-special creepy.

Me, Henga and Rajiv, in front of Bhairab. Beer is pumped out
through his mouth, as a blessing. Dudes riot to get a drink.


Managed to get a pic of the goddess past all her handlers.
