Doco Series: Holy Men of Nepal
Holy Men 'Sadhu's' have existed over centuries in Nepal and India. They are monks with different philosophy, free to do anything they like. These sadhu's reside in one of the most celebrated Temples of Hindu Kingdom, Pasupatinath Temple. I started the project to capture the essence of these men, who are part of our culture, but aren't understood. Their eccentric make-up rituals, their chantings and prayers, their use of marijuana and especially their way of life has been a fascination to the world itself. In this project, I have incorporated a small part of their daily life to understand the basics of why they do what they do. To know more about the cultures of these men and their stories, you can contact me directly.
