Description

A local Nepalese Newar family engaging in a Puja or Sagan ceremony, which typically takes place on significant events like a birthday or graduation. In this photo, Jinni is shown wearing red-colored tika on her forehead, next to her father, and an offering of boiled aggs with turmeric. The food is received ceremonially like a prayer, and is first offered at the altar to Ganesh, whose symbolic image is represented on a water jug filled with flowers on the table.
