Swayambunath
This picture of a mother feeding her child was taken at one of the shrines on top of Swayambunath, a Buddhist shrine in Kathmandu. She was sitting inside the area where the prayer wheels and the oil lamps are. Devotees would turn these prayer wheels while reciting their mantras. They would also pour oil on the cups and light them as an offering.
I don’t know the effect of this picture on you. But while looking at the picture, my eyes wander and my mind thinks about what it sees, why this poor woman decided to feed her baby at this spot, where there were other places in the area. It seems to be a living picture to me.
