Holy Men
Holy men photographed in Lumbini on the Buddha's birthday in 2011. I was attracted to the intense glare in this mans eyes when I photographed him. Lumbini is a Buddhist pilgramage site in the Rupandehi District of Nepal not far from the border with India. It is the place where Queen Mayadevi gave birth to Siddhartha Gautama, who as the Buddha Gautama founded the Buddhist tradition. Lumbini is one of four magnets for pilgrimage that sprang up in places pivotal to the life of the Buddha, the others being at Kushinagar, Bodh Gaya and Sarnath. Lumbini was where the Buddha lived until the age of 29.
