Shaman of Dolakha, Nepal
Portrait of Singha Bahadur Lama, a Shaman from Dolkaha Nepal. Every year many Shamans from many districts such as Dolkaha, Ramechhap, Kavre, Sindhuli travel to Shailung on Bhadra Poornima as they believe the spiritual powers are high during this time, they leave home few days prior and live in a cave or shed outside home, I photographed Singha in his shed on the day of Bhadra Poornima.
