at mid-december I was crossing the boarder between Nepal and India,

and next morning I arrived in Varanasi, the holy city of Hinduism.

For those who don’t know, the city is situated on the boarder of the Ganga river,

who take a bath in this sacred water get purified, spiritualy.

It is also a place were a fire started more than 3000 yeras ago is still kept alive and used for the burning of dead people, the custom for hindus. It is believed that if after your death you get cremated here on the side of the Ganga, you break up the cycle of reincarnation.

Here’s some drawings and pictures:

a drawing of the Burning Ghat, wich is the place where the bodies of the people that passed away are burnt, witnessed by the family, the cows, goats, dogs and people passing by:

Flutist at a concert, and the view when I took a Rikshah to move in Mouna Lodge:

Finally I decided to leave Nepal on the 8th of december,

I headed then to Lumbini close to the boarder with India.

This place is famous for being the birth place of Buddha.

I planed to stay there 1 or 2 days, but finally ended up staying a week.

I first met Nelly, a french girl that travel through Nepal doing many many projects, and she introduced me to Traditionnal buddhists painters, while they where painting the walls of a brand new temple in Lumbini.

she helped them painting inside the temple for a week. that was her last day when I met here, so naturally I stayed a few more days painting with them, helping with simple tasks.

spending my day painting and sharing some time with Mingmar the Master, Karma, Suman and the other painters.

that was a great time.

here are some pictures:

Karma, Mingmar and his portrait, me in action.. a detail of the wall painting and a few drawings.

Thanks to Mingmar and his great team!
