Old Newari Temple, Bungamati, Nepal

by Jerome Lorieau

Woman talking and workers renovating a temple, Bungamati (Jerome Lorieau)

In the main square of Bungamati in the Kathmandu valley, two women are tchating while workers are busy maintaining an old Newari temple.
Bungamati is a peaceful Newari village situated at around one hour from Chautara bus station in the centre of Kathmandu. It is especially known for its main temple: Rato Machhendranath Mandir.

It was the scene of the ladies having a chat and the workers renovating the temple who make me first take the pictures. Then realised that the colours of the women’s sarees were working well with their environment.

About

Expressing myself between documentary and street photography, my work focus on long term projects because of the human aspect, but also to have better insight and understanding of a situation over time. Photography is a medium that allows me to explore the cultural and sociological aspects of life in order to understand the relationship between the people, their traditions/habits/cultures and their environment. In recent years I have worked on separate long term projects about the Medinas of Morocco and more recently the Yamuna river in India.
