Construction workers toil at a building site at sunset in the village of Mirik, India.

Bokar Rinpoche's kudong. As in this case, some Tibetan Lamas' bodies are specially prepared and preserved, rather than being cremated. The bodies are covered with clay after preserving them in salt for over a year. Then seated in meditation posture, the bodies (or kudong in Tibetan) are placed inside stupas.

Inside the main shrine room of Bokar Monastery in Mirik, India. Almost everything you see is constructed from concrete and hand painted.

Spirit Houses : Spirit Houses are found outside almost every business, in front of every hotel, in restaurants, bars and discos. They are on the grounds of Buddhist temples and outside caves in the mountains. But most of them appear in the yards of almost everyone's home.
