Pashupatinath

Yesterday we went to one of the most famous Hindu temples in the world. We live close to this historical place too.
We got our yearly thread around our vrists from a well known priest who blessed us in an Adidas jacket in a flat somewhere up in an alley.
A friend of ours work in a shop there and she searched high and low to find him for us. Apparently he knew how to say the blessings correct, but of course we didn't understand what he mumbled.
This thread we will keep on our wrists until Tihar (Diwali in India) in the beginning of November and then we will put the thread around a cow's tail.
Doing this ritual we'll go straight to heaven when we die. We did it last year, but apparently you have to renew the ticket every year.
Nicholas gets a tikka and his thread.

Then it was my turn. In the background you can see our friend Nimila.

And then the priest blessed Leya.
