Pictured is a man who lives in the Annapurna Mountain Range.  He is carrying a water jug which is nestled in a typical hand-made basket.  In the background is “Machapuchare” or more commonly known as Fishtail Mountain.  The Annapurnas are located in the North Central portion of the country and are revered by the local population as sacred.

The “Dungchen” is a Tibetan horn used in ceremonies and is the most widely used instrument in Tibetan Buddhist culture.  As these men play for a wedding, people danced in the street in celebration.  The sound of these instruments are compared to the sounds of elephants.
