Sabita ji

This is my wonderful friend Sabita; the painting behind her is of her family's village, Durung, and is painted as a stage/theater backdrop in a community house here in Pokhara. We met her mother at the community house because there was a funeral ceremony and rituals going on for a young man who had died of cancer. Sabita did not know him, but her mother invited us to the ceremony so that I could watch; it was fascinating and I hope to post more about it, as well as pictures, later!
