"BHAIRAB NAACH" - Bairava's Dance - Pokhara, Nepal


This photo collage is of a dance which features performers wearing costumes and masks of the 12 gods or "bhairabs." It is part of the Newari culture and is performed once every 6 years in Pokhara, Nepal as part of the Indra Jatra festival. I was fortunate enough to be in Pokhara at that time and taken there by my host family.
