Patan: penance unfortunate goat

Languish at the gates of the temple as rags. It looks hungry and look, sad. No caress, no hand to lengthen them some food. Starve or sacrificed to Shiva. These goats wandering like lost souls bear the sins of devotees are Hindus and considered impure.

Kneeling, head down, man waits patiently for his head shaved, a rite de duelo Hindu. His late father is now a handful of ashes, in the waning fire, about to join the current holy Bagmati River.
