Image description

Durga Prashad Sapkota, a Brahmin priest consumes a meal laced with animal marrow known as the "katto" in Kathmandu June 11, 2001. Nepal started exorcising the ghosts of its royal massacre on Monday with the first of two traditional ceremonies during which holy men will take the palaces woes with them. Sapkota, a Brahmin priest, the holiest figure in the Hindu faith, broke one of the ancient religion's most sacred taboos in order to assume the woes of a troubled palace. Dressed to appear as a likeness of slain King Birendra, the priest - a vegetarian all his life - ate a meal laced with animal marrow before leaving on elephant back on self-imposed exile in a remote part of the Himalayan mountain kingdom.
