Nepal - Bimiri Gaun Tihar Festival
I was lucky enough to celebrate Tihar festival at Bimiri Gaun. The family we were staying with included us like a member of their own family. The Nepali people are some of the most generous and welcoming people I have ever met and we had a great day celebrating with them.
These shots show the traditional Tika ceremony and the singing and dancing in the evening.
